REBUTTAL: Art review was counterproductive
It's a shame she felt it was not "a pleasure and an adventure" and that, mostly, "these works were vacant." Instead of being the Philistine, she might have been more positive, open-minded and supportive of these creative efforts. She might have said, "Here is the art of 16 visual explorers, a dedicated community of digital discoverers who are creating images utilizing some of the most advanced tools available to contemporary artists. Here are visions that test and expand the boundaries of mankind's ever-evolving language and definition of art."
The digital revolution is here to stay. Come see it. Here is a new, global paradigm of expression and communication. Let us congratulate these brave new media cybernauts. These are today's pictures created by artists of your community. Not be be missed: "Digital Decade" The Painted Pixel" runs through noon, July 26, at the Queen Emma Gallery.
