Actually, if the artist's objective is something like organic realism, the medium is a problem, because it is a digital meduim imposing order on an analog subject. Personally, I consider the organic vs. mechanical (call it analog/digital or meat/metal, same difference) problem the most fundamental problem of contemporary Western thought, and digital art is just one more, relatively minor, instance of it. Analog reality is not reducible to ordered equal units. Quantum physics has put that bit of scientific dogma to bed with no pudding.
