G'day y'all.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my Cultural Exam. I need to do a report on any medium, and I've chosen Digital art VS Classical art, wherein I compare the digital versions of certain aspects of art and compare them with the classical version of that. Now, I've got four aspects, and what I'd like you to do is to fill in YOUR digital versions to stand against the classical versions of it.

For example, one aspect is music. I've chosen Beethoven's Second Symphony for that one, and as digital representative you could say any fully digitalised song.

The aspects are Music, Movie, Literature and Image (Think statues, photos, paintings, that sort of stuff.)

If you all could help me, it'd be nice. But, to be clear, you are not DOING my work for me. This is just one part of my report.

let's see. in Music, you could try Daft Punk, or some more obscure electronical music.
Literature will be impossible; wether you write something on a computer or on a typewriter, the result will be the same, only if you fuck up the typewriter it will be hell in a bucket. and then, art. scour deviantart on digital art tab, and you'll find something. off you go now! Chop Chop!

Damn you! Ninja'd and such.

Yes, Daft Punk and DeviantART. As for literature, heh, yeah, unless y-... no, I really don't know.

Well, fuck, what he said.

You could use writers who managed to start their career providing their works free online, making it easier for previously unknown elements to get published.

Well for music, hmm. Can't just chose something I like, I suppose. If I had to go for anything, it'd be Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing. They're not my favourite band, but they have some catchy stuff. For me, it's more about the fact that they're widely loved by a large spectrum of people and I don't hate them.

Movies, that's easy for me. As of recently, it's got to be Idiocracy. Perfect example of both human wit mixed with real issues, comparable in a ridiculous sense to stuff like the Godfather in that way.

Literature? Blimey. Well, to compare it to something I'd guess it'd have to be pretty different. I'd go for Alan Wake in that case. Sure, it's a game, but it's well written and the storyline doesn't suck. Also, it's pretty easy to relate to Stephen King's stuff.

Image, not my stong suit I gotta' say. Just to be completely different, I'd do a modern day comic. Something like Ultimate Spider-Man (and not just because I love it!).

that makes sense. You should do that.

For music, what about videogame music? There's some really well written stuff out there, and some of it compares quite nicely to more classical forms. For the movie category, there's always old fashioned flash animation -- ever hear of The Demented Cartoon Movie? There's also some pretty good writing buried around the internet, although Fanfiction.net wouldn't exactly be my first choice. As for the image category, people have already said deviant art. Another option would be to pull up a 3D model and call it a digital sculpture.
