domains of printmaking and photography?
Will they survive as distinct fine art media?
Eleni Mylonas, "X Rated," Are these prints or photographs?

The "Digital Revolution" challenges the entire production and nature of images.
Photography and printmaking bear the brunt of change and challenge because of
their very nature: flat, 2-D, reproducible. We have all adjusted by now but to
what precisely? What are the challenges, the adjustments and changes? By, to
and for whom? What is the impact on artists, academic art departments, curators
and collectors? Will printmaking and photography even survive as distinct art
media? Are they co-mingling into a new media called 2D digital imaging? If so,
what are the standards, if any, among artists who work in digital printmaking
and photography, in art schools, and for those who curate and collect? Are there
uniform standards? Does this new emergence affect past standards and structures
as well as the future of art objects and the ways we approach them? The panel is
composed of representatives from each area of expertise and artists from both
traditional and digital media.
