I see no contradiction between painting and being digital. The art just has to involve discrete systems in some manner. There is nothing in the rule book that says it has to involve a computer. Mez¹s work is digital but can be done with pencil and paper. Also, painting no longer has to involve paint. Warhol¹s piss and rust metal plates were just that, metal plates he pissed on and left to rust. They were then presented as effectively paintings. To really mix things up Cohen¹s paintings made with Aaron are both paintings (made with paint) and computer art (made by computer). These days it pays not to be anal about definitions. There will always be an exception that shows you are wrong.

Please separate the idea of painting from the creation of digital images it's a contradiction and makes it difficult for people to understand what digital artists are creating...........
