art</title></head><body>
<div>Hello,<br>
what is embarrassing is the assumptions that inherent to this
discussion<br>
digital vs. analog; does somebody now the borderline where the good
analog begins and the bad digital starts?<br>
are digital phone conversations embarrassing or the fact that
some gov agency is listening in?<br>
maybe Lev just wanted to start a conversation about false
dichotomies?<br>
there is a rancid smell of academic elitism to the whole
conversation...<br>
I mean the fact that that the beating of George Floyd was recorded on
a digital device make it bad news?<br>
Maybe the embarrassment here is something Lev should
self-examine...<br>
The fact that many composers, DJs, musicians, film-makers,etc. use
digital devices make their work embarrassing?<br>
I mean really WTF is the issue here?<br>
