Just so we're clear, I didn't say every art work requires a direct reference to computer-or-screen-or-cyber (that was the conclusion many enraged painters reached on the AFC thread), but some acknowledgment that we live in a time period after 1977 or so would be useful. Sillman's paintings are frozen around the "new image painting" era. So she has a CD and a zine on the gallery desk and her followers insist that we must read all three together. "Trying to formulate a discourse around one's own paintings with other media is clunky in the extreme" is the issue, for sure.
