Digital Art - Chapter 2

I found the section on Film, video, and animation (page 96) with its statement that "Film is grounded in the concept of 'recording reality'." - which also goes on to suggest Films to one day be made entirely from digital worlds - to be incorrect. First, I consider Films, from the early past to recent memory, to only ever capture the imitation of life. Recording reality is left to CC security cameras as even documentaries are edited to emphasize particular aspects, which are victim to the whims of the director and are thus Art. Second, films have already been produced, years before the publication of this book, entirely out of digital medium. Virtual worlds have been present in Film for decades, nearly a century, as Animation.
