Article reminds me of my pre-’turn of the century’ musings on the possibilities of a true ‘digital art’ virtual world – one curated by filmmaker Peter Greenaway, or populated by the imagination of an artist like Matthew Barney.

In life, he suffered from a sense of unreality, as do many Englishmen.

Is this why digital art is so hard to define? Is it the same as media arts, interactive art, new media, net art, software art? Subtle differences arise in the terms, and also betray radical differences over approach and ideological stance in the terms.

To a certain extent the problem lies in practitioners and theorists not stamping enough authority on how it should be viewed, and what it should be called. The area of digital art is evolving rapidly, and it needs some definitions of genres and areas for these help formulate a narrative arc and history. Or perhaps I feel like this because of my predilection for the Borgesian.
