<nettime> there is nothing embarrassing about digital art

[Allan Siegel <allan@allansiegel.info>]

Hello,
what is embarrassing is the assumptions that inherent to this discussion
digital vs. analog; does somebody now the borderline where the good 
analog begins and the bad digital starts?
are digital phone conversations embarrassing  or the fact that some gov 
agency is listening in?
maybe Lev just wanted to start a conversation about false dichotomies?
there is a rancid smell of academic elitism to the whole conversation...
I mean the fact that that the beating of George Floyd was recorded on a 
digital device make it bad news?
Maybe the embarrassment here is something Lev should self-examine...
The fact that many composers, DJs, musicians, film-makers,etc. use 
digital devices make their work embarrassing?
I mean really WTF is the issue here?
