Barney Davey has a post on his blog Convergent Media-Is it Time to Bury Digital Art? Basically, it talks about using a new definition calling
digital art Convergent Media. This article is well worth your time to read it.
My personal thoughts are that this would mean we now have to define a new word to the public. It’s ART and
after visiting many museums and reading many blogs, etc, I think the best definition is the materials used and not
always how it was created originally.
We don’t explain from scratch, Photo Reference in the computer, then cloned, then painted, then printed, then sprayed, etc…
I prefer to just say it’s my art and it’s produced as pigment on canvas with hand embellishing and gold leafing, etc or whatever
I have added.
Too much detail might be boggling the minds of collectors that really don’t care about details, but end product instead.

Just my thoughts on it. What are yours. Comments welcome!
