One can also work outside of the University and one can work outside  
of the "art market."

Perhaps the key part to the internet is it's "no-place" location.   
Digital art is essentially art made with computers. A critique of  
digital art is where one makes digital art that highlights it's  
inherent control mechanisms. What I mean is that computer programming  
is a control structure as is most logical abstractions that result in  
a code structure.  Being an artist on the other hand has to to with  
liberation. An art that challenges or points the way away from  
corporate/government/ control is liberating.
