artsolete

The idea that all digital art is created with technology that will eventually become obsolete. When the technology that created the art reaches obsolescence, the art is free to become a master-work. When only the art remains, no more of the same art can be made in the same way because the technolgy no longer exists. Any art that was created to look like it would be an interpretation using newer technology, reinforcing the idea that all art is derivative.
The art that was created using Commodore 64 computer will soon become artsolete, because there are no longer artists using it, and there are no more Commodore 64 computers left.
