Reading #2 Questions

1.) The reading talks about how the movement toward newer age digital media ushered in a new fascination with older forms of art, even older forms of new age media. Is this process we have seen throughout history of emergence and then eventual rediscovery of older art forms doomed to happen to the very digital mediums we think of today when the word digital art comes to mind?

2.) Such as with performance art many entire art forms such as orchestras or broadway are completely reliant and fixed through their digital representations whereas in earlier times the job of recognition and the very existence of such art forms was reliant on simply word of mouth or fliers. With the inevitable emergence of newer art forms and mediums (through which they can be represented) in the future what art forms does the reader think will not be able to adapt to be represented in these new mediums? Are some so fixed through current mediums such as email and commercials that any representation otherwise would make said art something other than its original form?
