Cave painting and Shadow Puppetry both are cultures that has been remained for a long period of time, and they both have contributed human’s understanding of the past, which is giving a link between the art of present and the past. The differences between them is that the cave painting are statics, they’re painted on the wall of the caves and describes the scene of pre-historic people. Shadow Puppetry are animated and moving, it have been passed down and still been performed in modern times.

However, things like virtual reality and artificial intelligence do impress me.
