Digital Art, I

"Recontextualization through appropriation or collaging, as well as the relationship between copy and original, are also prominent features of the digital medium. While appropriation and collaging, techniques originating wit the Cubists, Dadaists, and Surrealists at the beginning of the twentieth century, have a long history in art, the digital medium has multiplied their possibilities and taken them to new levels." pp. 27-28

Christiane Paul describes digital as a context, which sort of suggests that our environment is altered by the prevalence of technology.
