note: this just doesn’t apply to images or videos, unless there’s a sense that what is depicted is supposed to be real. (sure i could just say this applies to ‘art’ in general, but that wouldn’t be saying much.
UPDATE: When saying this “just doesn’t apply” I’m thinking about tumblr-ish webart. Artifacts in the Art World are something else. (Thanks @mostguyever)
