This news Article is focussed on the new digital era we're are going through. Digital revolution has made life much easier for us, we can communicate easier with one and another, we can take a picture of everything we see and it is captured digitally forever. There are a lot of similar pros one can come up with, but artists believe that this also has a downside when it comes down to art.
Critics believe that art should not be only focussed on the end-product part of it, creation process of art is as important. So when a poetry is written on a laptop for instance, it's value is less artistic than one that has been written on a typewriter. This is the view of an artist named Claire Askew and a lot of other artists from different branches of art share the same point of view.
Personal opinion: I disagree with this article, because art is art, weather it is created on a laptop, or by hand; if something is artistic, beautiful and unique it will get the respect it deserves from me. However I do take in consideration the way something is created and the effort the artist has put into it, based on this information I will decide the level of respect the piece of art gets from me.

Hi,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenClaire Askew here. Thanks for giving me a mention. However, I'm quite upset that you misquoted me. I never said that art created via a digital medium was any less valuable than art created on a typewriter (for example), or other analogue mode. All I said was that /I/ prefer to use a typewriter. Other writers may do as they please -- very beautiful and creative work can be, and usually is, produced via digital media.
I'd appreciate it if you would read my contribution again, and refrain from misrepresenting me further!
Thanks again,
Claire
I had to generalize allot of opinions, but from your part I focussed more on the "creation part is just as important as end-product", referring to the your article saying: Perhaps it's because you have to think much more carefully when using a typewriter, because if you make a mistake you have to start all over again. If you do it on a word processor you can start and then come back to it, delete whole stanzas in a second; it's almost too easy". here you focus on the creation part. (forget the whole "which art is better issue).
