“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.”

Henry Pisciotta | @HenryPisciotta

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

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."

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.”
