    i think it has a lot to do with the tangible quality of non-digital art...for example (maybe this is just me):

    take one design...view it asa jpg in a browser window...then as a print of the same size (scale complicates the argument)...i know i would rather look at the print than the jpg because it is a physical thing that i can pick up and hold

    of course this comparison is not applicable to interactive art...which i believe is completely valid but is still constrained by the screen / keyboard / mouse which affects critics' perceptions...using different input devices can make work exponentially more interesting...

    sheesh im talking a lot...sorry...tricky issue
