A work of digital art is not "obsolete", and trying to pretend that it is is capitalist garbage.
There is lots of great modern art. but none of it makes older art "obsolete".
- dkonofalski 7y agoWhile I agree, I think there's an important caveat that is missing. To me, digital art needs to be self-contained. Digital art, unlike physical art, doesn't really rely on anything else for it to present itself. It's why digital media has standards. A .jpg should, in theory, be self-contained and only require a device to view. A game presenting itself as digital art, however, needs to be tied to a specific platform and software that may not potentially run in the future for any number of reasons. It needs to be feature-locked and self-contained so that it can be archived. To try and compare modern/older art to modern/older digital art isn't fair or equivalent, in my opinion.
- dwaite 7y agoDigital art, just like physical art, needs to be maintained. If a painting sits in a moldy basement for a decade, don't be surprised when someone finally go to check on it at what happened.
