no comparison, ridiculous (self-deceiting “brave new world”)
I can not hold back & will not hold back any more. Below a copy of somebody’s words & my reply to it:
He: “…digital media… I enjoy the ways that it can bolster (?! me) and add new layers to traditional media too.” ME: This is a self-illusion: digital media are incapable to “add new layers”, they are flat.
Also it is simply not the same as to create, truly create by yourself with your own alive means & material matter, your body/mind/emotions. Imperfections too give such liveliness to a piece of art. Computer has only that many means & already by this is dictating you the narrow boundaries. Also the material piece of art has SUCH a tangible impact that is by no means comparable with the shallow, design-like impression digital pictures produce.
