For a long time, I've said that digital art is not visual art. It's performing art. And one of the reasons why museums are having a hard time adopting it is because they have not been open to things that, like generative art does, change over time or that are event-based.

So as much as I would criticize museums for not getting together and agreeing on things, they're also, again, exhibiting things. They have to put stuff on the walls because they depend on ticket sales to get people in the door and fund their institutions.
