Digital vs. Analog, It has come to my attention that the line that separates these two different ways of categorizing things can get blurry. Some instances are easy, simply take the alphabet for example. It is digital as there are only a set number of letters. While that might be obvious to some, what about a painting?
While we can see all of the colors in a painting when we look at it. One can argue that there a countable number of colors. Afterall you can see the whole painting; so, why can’t we say it’s digital? Well while we can see the painting ‘now’ we cannot see the painting as it once was, and it is possible that the colors we see now are not the same colors that the painting had when it was created, and there is no way of knowing. Leaving an infinte number of possible colors, which could have been put on the cavas. Thus proving that paintings are analog, though this may come at now suprise to some.
