To assess digital art in these modern times, there are ten critical criticisms:
1. Popularity: How many sites link to it.
2. Citability: How many reviews link to it.
3. Authority: Of the links, how many links link to the sites that link to it.
4. Covetability: how many copies were stolen.
5. Enviability: how many competitors ripped it off and changed the names to claim originality.
6. Originality: huh? Who would link to something they don’t recognize? This one doesn’t matter but I toss it in here to satisfy the need for a ten item list.
7. Authenticity: how many animals were harmed making the thing.
8. Cultability: how many forums are dedicated to proving the artist is wrong about the interpretation of their work.
9. Derivability: how many forums dedicated to proving the artist is wrong are right.
10. Extensibility: how many new pieces of art are created to *honor* the resource at the bottom of all of those links.
The best way to assess art is to find the average size of the pile on top of it that keeps you from finding it times the number of those looking for something like it divided by the number of those who claim to have it for a price they will reveal to you if you give them your social security number.
