So, sure, lots of flawed examples/reasoning here, but let's look at the overall premise: can art become further democratized, accessible, expansive in media and impactful?
First off, it's a nice idea. The world can use more pleasant, hopeful, upbeat thinking in my mind.
Second, on the substantive points, that changes in technology will drive changes in what is considered "art" and who can access it, particularly from a market perspective: that's hard to dispute. This is a continuation of changes that have been evolving for 100 years, from the dadaists, through the invention of lithography, to warhol (or murakami today), and seem likely to continue.
So an easy article to pick apart, but hard to dispute the point that (i think) he's intending to make.
