Graphic design aside, up until somewhat recently, digital artwork, or art done using a computer didn't seem to be given credit or as much credit as artwork produced with "natural" materials or craft.
I remember just a few years ago having to explain to other traditional media artists how the computer was essentially a tool much like a paintbrush or clay, or a camera is.
Even photographers first had trouble accepting Photoshop as something to treat photography as an alternative to the dark room.
Art isn't something easy to define I guess, it's meaning has been disputed since forever. But often times this dialoug itself gives new meaning to it.
Like someone said, something becomes art the moment the viewer chooses it to be, and it becomes art for that person. Nature is the original artist.
If a computer is programmed to churn out paintings or music, who gets the credit? The computer, programmer, or both?
