Curse of the Web

I was reading this article in Frieze titled :

The last 20 years have seen revolutions in technology that have transformed our lives. How have art and it's institutions reacted?

It was pretty interesting. Basically it was saying that the art industry hasn't been affected by the internet in the same way that Print and Music have been. It's so true. Art culture has remained unaffected by the popularity of the internet because art is still very much about the physical. I can't download a Damien Hirsts The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Something Living.....can I? It's really amazing that art has remianed with this purity throughout the digital age. That is all.
