Invited to a TV show to speak about my work and knowing the journalist being not that friendly about what I do, his first question didn't surprise me at all: "What is digital about your art?"
Now that was easy to answer, "I"m working with digital tools".
May be that's why I started to replace the term Digital Art by Art made with digital tools.
Art made with digital tools might be the most popular and widely practiced art making of all time. It's there and succeeded in encouraging artists all over the world. It is the most popular art form ever.
It does not need the imprimatur of fine art critics, which will come anyway. What is more, with digital art we make a huge step towards the appreciation of art being less about possession and more about sharing.
