I am still learning Photoshop, and having some trouble uploading and saving images, but I wanted to make sure to get this week's assignment in on time.  Please see below the work I managed to complete.  (No image from MOCA).    


Warhol Silkscreen - 

MOCA Critique - 

I am fascinated by Dave Acton's 'Digital Emulation of Traditional Media."  I feel his (re)imagining of John Singer Sargent's portraiture poses some very interesting questions.  I enjoy theorizing about post-millennial societies in which digital media has completely replaced traditional art-making, but I believe this is impossible.  Digital art is predicated on the genius of traditional artistic media and techniques, and neither material can completely replace the other.  Contemporary art must have a historical awareness, and should extend the province of its antecedents - not perform an ahistorical rupture.
