It's AOL, But Is It Art?
from the get-over-it dept
For years there have been stories about the massive number of promotional CDs (and now DVDs) that AOL sends out trying to get you to sign up with them.

There are also stories about those collectors who search eBay for the amazing "rare" AOL discs. Well, now, here's the story of the "artist" who uses AOL discs in his artwork.

In previous decades, intellectuals used to argue that electronic music is not "real" music, essays written on word processors are not "genuine", even that true math or science is not done on computers. I'm all for progress.
