    it seems that the difference between what is seen as art and what is seen as design is simply a matter of context. and context can change (you wouldn't have found a poster by, e.g., alphonse mucha in a museum in 1910, but now...).

    as for new media pushing fine art - sure, i think you can make a case for that. i also find it interesting how traditional media has incorporated the look and feel of digital imagery (oil paintings that look like they've been pixel stretched in ps, or paintings that look like they were done in illustrator)
