Digital Art Introduction

Digital Art begins by distinguishing between art that uses digital technologies as a tool to create art and those that use digital technologies as their own medium.

I found interesting the link of conceptual artists as Duchamp to the digital art

The shaping of digital arts by science and technology-no surprise there

Good to understand right away the issues being faced in digital technology today:
The inability to store or difficulty to store these works of art reminds me of many conceptual pieces

Those works intended for the Internet pose problems in which while one can display their work outside of the gallery and the limited access to Internet inside the gallery

The fact that those Internet works can't be easily placed into a context

Expanded Internet access doesn't eliminate the fact that Internet art usually requires a relatively private engagement over a longer period of time-Lounge area as possible solution but concerns are "ghettoization" and the removal of the piece from contextual pieces

The value and sale of digital installations

Responsibility of maintaining the work, often thought of as ephemeral and unstable-upgrade of software and hardware

Benefit of piece being on view all of the time vs only available by rotation
