“As with all digital images, digital images of
prints will no doubt play an increasingly
important role in digital culture; however, it's
critical to keep in mind that a digital image of a
print is not a print.”

4. Henry Pisciotta | @HenryPisciotta
“Reproductive media (printing, photography,
cinema, computing, etc.) have always
transmitted and broadened culture and each
fosters some form of literacy.”

5. Andrew Schulz | @aps235
"Although William Ivins taught us to think about
prints as 'exactly repeatable pictorial
statements,' I am interested in the ways that
impressions taken from the same plate often
function as unique images, and in the resulting
complications in what it means to reproduce a
print in digital form."

6. Neal Stimler | @nealstimler
“Graphic arts, from prints to GIFs, acutely trace the
essences of human expression. Multiple impressions of
‘trace’ are considered: an open process of wondrous
discovery; a practice of sketching ever emerging
knowledge towards enlightenment; formal, intellectual
and emotional elements used to create compositions; an
awareness of the flux nature of existence as the
perpetual in-between state of having been, being and
becoming.”
