OT - Does Classical Art Continue to be Art if It's Made Interactive?

Making Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” come alive [video]

"One of the most striking aspects of Van Gogh’s most famous work is that the painting almost appears to swirl in dreamy delight even in its original form, but with some help from Petros Vrellis and openFrameworks, that dream becomes a reality." http://holykaw.alltop.com

My take is that the art purists will be offended, but art lovers everywhere will like the whole concept of interactive art forms. I certainly like it as alternate medium with great potential to attract new fans and artists.

Music remix; interactive art on art; gas electrified automobiles; etc.

Will the continuing evolution of the skype-twitter-face book-3D Video-surround sound--hovering drones; and the add-an-app aspect of new interactive technologies bring the socialization of recruitment onto such a stage that the need for a face-to-face interview will be Plan B?
