When looking at art in terms of media, I believe the connection to be very relevant. As technology progresses, art and science follow the same transformations. Web design falls under that same progression. When designing on the web, we must follow the same artistic principles as any other work of art.  Web design is the perfect example of meshing the techniques of art with the ability to craft forms of technology. In specific, I found the section about graphic compression was interesting. The details behind the design was nicely shown in the articles.
