I prefer listening to a virtuoso playing a Stradivarius live in front of me than to listening to the electronic version (or whatever) of it. Impossible to beat that original source known to men as Violin.
Same goes with art. No digital print will EVER match the magic of a cool ink on paper cartoon. One where you can see/touch/taste/feel the volume of the lines of thick black ink over the white spotless paper that where put there by a hand, just like your hand, but with an incredible skill... Or the dripping paintings of Jackson Pollock. Action painting. The idea is to imagine him doing his thing. Going crazy in the process of manufacturing an art object. It's not so cool to think about an artist as someone who spends his life in front of a computer. That is too mundane now. People want to see chips flying and paint being dripped. They want to experiment the un edited reality. No photoshop, no electric cathodic rays of light piercing your eyeballs. People want the real thing. Pure and uncut.
As long as digital tools don't have a Physical presence in this "real" world, a print will never beat the actual object. We can sculpt that into stone. It's like that and that's the way it is! You can take that to the bank!
In my own humble opinion
Viva la verdadera arte!
