From the Paper:

"An important aspect to consider in the evolution of digital art is the issue of legitimacy and acceptance. While the acceptance of digital art is far from ubiquitous there is now a strong basis for the recognition of digital art forms. (ibid) However, the hectic pace of technological development has meant that many artists feel inadequate in the face of technology that requires, in many cases, training and a mindset which is oriented towards a technological rather than a traditionally artistic point of view. Connected to this issue is the fact that art theory and aesthetics are struggling to assimilate these new technological methodologies."
