Digital "Art" Debate


The debate goes on as to whether digital art should be considered a legitimate form of art worthy of consideration or collection by individuals or institutions. The main arguments seem to be "The computer processed it, therefore the artist has not fully created the piece." or "It was created in just seconds, so it can't be of any true value." Both arguements can easily be debated for or against.

None-the-less over time as today's computer savvy generation matures, acceptance and appreciation of digital art will become more commonplace. Traditionalists will still want oils on canvas but times are changing and the world of art is no exception. The line between digital and non-digital is already blurred and will eventually disappear altogether.
