@SuricrasiaOnline I don't think it's that kind of failure. I'm not an expert and this might be sheer mysticism but there is a history in the object itself that makes the difference.

This is an excerpt from a larger essay where Everest Pipkin, a primarily digital artist, describes the advantages of digital art versus nondigital art. It gets to the unique advantages of say, a paper-based illustration, the object itself.

@SuricrasiaOnline I like it because they describe why perfect duplicability is both an advantage AND a disadvantage

@darius oh I have read this. I think I can understand but I guess I just don't "get it" in my gut

@SuricrasiaOnline I didn't understand it until I started going to lots of art museums and seeing works in person that I had only seen (very good) copies of myself. And I just... understood the art on a level that I never got it on paper. Like a Miró in person, for me, is full of meaning and energy and life in a way that prints and high-resolution scans are simply not.
