besides the injunction against it, i just never liked the way it looked.  too techie clunky.  too “amateur” a surface.  on the other hand, the digital surface allows even the amateur to “look” (as if there were anything more; it’s art, after all) polished, and the technology is so elegant.  that’s the entire thing, i think, that dvd looks more “like” film, smoother, more effortless, no so revealing-of-the-process, more subverting-of-the-process. at least to me. it allows one to relegate the “original” artwork to mere prop status with greater ease than ever before.  i was/am always making props.  digital technology allows one to convert one’s world to slickness and light. pictures of pictures.
