Does the medium fundamentally change the art?
Can digital art ever truly capture the presence of a physical painting? I spent last weekend at a gallery and found myself lingering in front of an oil canvas, noticing the texture and how light shifted across the brushstrokes—something a screen just flattens. Yet I've also seen VR installations that made me question my own assumptions. Maybe the real issue isn't which is superior, but what we lose or gain when we trade tactile experience for infinite reproducibility. What do you think—does the medium fundamentally change the art, or is it all just pigment and pixels?
