There is a digital artist showing here in town, big photoshop collaged work printed out in inks on paper as massive high rez panels. Someone complained to me that this kind of image needs to be backlit in order to really pop, and I thought the comment was an interesting indicator of how images on screens are becoming yet one more medium available to us. I agree, by the way. My preference is to see work that was generated on the computer, on the computer display. One reason is as sort of purist 'truth to materials' response that is my own problem to get over, the other is simply that light renders colour so much better than ink does. I'll take RGB over CMYK any day.
