challenges of digital art presents to the art world

What are some challenges digital art presents to the art world (ie galleries, exhibition goers, art critics and scholars)?


Since the digital art are mainly based on the concept, so while compare the digital art to the paintings/ sculptures, there are quite many differences. While we watching the paintings and sculptures, besides the concept, we are also appreciating the techniques, the color, the skills, the levels, the forms,the artists' styles etc, which are very personalize skills, and sometimes we would comment the artworks according to  these aspect, these are the artistic elements which are very important to determined the value of the artworks. However while we watching the digital art, due to using technologies to present the ideas and concepts, there are no very big and distinguish contrast in the skills of artists. Besides, if we don't understand the concepts of the digital art, it is quite difficult to give some other comments and see it from other aspect.

Besides, there are also some limits bring by digital art, such as the equipments may not be available in everywhere, sometimes there may be some technical problems or errors which cant show the art in it original form, for example, a piece of computer graphic, the color may look different in different computer.

Also, it is difficult to define which the work is an art or not. Because making a digital work may involve many people and techniques from different areas, such as engineers, programmers, etc. Seems that it is a mixture of technology, and how to determined the works is art or not art? it is quite hard.
Except the above, some tradition people may not accept the concepts of digital art, some of them may think that art should be present like paintings and sculptures and than put into the gallery, such works would deserve greater appreciating values. They may try to reject the digital art.

This is the work which interest me, i think the concept of this project is quite good. Which try to connect the people who share the same physical same and activities, they try to catch the coincidence chance and moment. "this is the act of opening one's umbrella when rain begins to fall" This is a very creative and good idealism to connect and strengthen social network with art.
