Zach takes a sharp turn off the rails and proposes a question to Rafe, who had agreed to address it without prep:  Is digital art too easy?  And is it really an expression of anything?

Does the ability to "undo" and avoid the risk of screwing up make digital art a lesser medium than other media?  Does great art require risk?

What follows is a grand discussion of digital art and its pros and cons, of creating something greater than the sum of its parts, and of the nature of art as an expression of the essential nature of the artist.
