What an interesting, detailed, and informative post my friend. I would have never even considered the concept of art in a digital world being a thing...

I will confess, I don't "totally" grasp the concept as of yet. But I will most certainly re-read your post, and try to get a better understanding of it. I am reminded of the virtual world Second Life where items can be created, then sold... I remember explaining this concept to people; their reactions were something like, "you are spending money on 'pretend' land?"

Please understand I'm not trying to compare your art in any way, to this information... rather, trying to understand better the concept of this digital art. As you can see, my mind (or gears rather) is turning... thank you again for sharing this... I must go to study more!
