Art in the Digital World
Barney Davey
 Just by merely reading this blog, or participating in the numerous ways Absolute Arts makes is possible, you are entwined in the digital world of art. In some ways, there is nothing real about the ethereal bits and bytes that make up any Web site, art or otherwise. If anything, when you think about it, how it happens is surreal. Right now, you and I are having a pleasant communication interlude with you at your leisure and me at mine, all courtesy of the World Wide Web with many thanks to Tim Berners-Lee. And, the course of this communication is exemplary of how the digital world and art interact. What we have all come to take for granted in the span of 15 years regarding the Internet and how it affects us all is nothing short of amazing. Personally, I'm thrilled to be alive at a time when all this is possible and when all the possibilities digital everything creates is nothing short of wonderful and truly astounding.
