But is it tech? (Hotlist).This time out, the Brooklyn Museum of Art Brooklyn Museum of Art, museum in the borough of Brooklyn, N.Y.

Now" (June 22-Sept. 2) should provoke plenty of conversation--at least when it comes to determining what we mean by "digital art." The eighty-four-artist exhibition will include such marquee names as Robert Rauschenberg

"When he printed the work the first time around, Rauschenberg realized the color didn't appear as he remembered it, so the computer played a vital role in his completion of the print, says Marilyn Kushner, the BMA's curator of prints and drawings, who conceived the show four years ago and "held not for major galleries" in the museum to guarantee a high-profile display.
