And a piece of digital art should not be labeled a "painting". I think having a label which clearly defines a piece of digital artwork from a real painting would be beneficial to artists working in both media as well as the general public. Just my 2 cents, sorry if it offends anyone. Painters may not give details such as what brand and pigment paint they use, but they sure don’t say their paintings are photographs, or sculptures.

I agree with you too much detail is just confusing and unnecessary when it comes to explaining how digitally rendered art is produced. You are right, painters don't give such details as, painted using Shcminke Mussini Translucent Cyan oil; so why should digital artists have to go into details. Either you like how it looks are you don't. Either you accept I'm a qualified artist or you don't. I coined the term <i>convergent media</i> because like it or not, we all use labels to describe things and processes. It's no more explanatory than its cousin, mixed media. However, like mixed media, it conveys the work was created in process with multiple steps. When I hear mixed media, I don't know what it means exactly. If I am curious enough to ask, I can get details. Convergent media, as with mixed media, conveys enough to allow an artist to elaborate with whatever else might be asked in their own way providing as little of great detail as each chooses to offer.
