Davis Reading; Art in the Digital Age

I found this article to raise interesting points and support for the on going debate on how the digital age of art will effect the idea of "original" art. Im not Davis ever really makes it clear on how he feels, as I think he himself is torn on the subject and all the different forms of technology that come into play. I personally think that the idea of "art" is ever changing and that 'traditional' forms of art are not dying out or being reproduced beyond repair, but simply that new forms of art are being born. These new forms open the doors to so many new ways of working and creating and the digital world is there to embrace in terms of these new methods. A painting will never look like the original on a computer screen but it is still a great way of circulating your art work to an audience you never would have been exposed to otherwise. I think any artist who does n0t embrace the existence of the internet is in many ways limiting themselves.

I found davis' explanation of "the world's first collaborative sentence" to be very interesting. This is a perfect example of the power of technology and the digital age can reach people in ways that were unimaginable before it's existence in our world.
