spingbing-LostrittoReading

Something that struck me in the Lostritto reading was that there were several factors that differentiated and constrained the definition of a drawing and that there were many that I didn’t completely agree with. For one, I considered the undo button as the digital perfection of the eraser on traditional pieces, but here he refers to them as completely different functions. The “A computer cannot draw” section also states that a drawing must be intended by the creator’s mind to be a drawing in order for it to be a drawing. More generally, this list leads me to believe that there can be art pieces that exist on separate incremental levels; for example, if a piece cannot be edited, was drawn with the intent of it being a drawing, and final, would that be closer to the sphere of drawing than one that also could not be edited, but was drawn without the intent of being a drawing, and final? Or, is everything that does not satisfy all the requirements on the same plane?
