Do something about. Do while you talk - theorize - discuss. Help with 
the digital art ontology at http://dao.cim3.net . It may be a bit of a 
glass bead game, but you'd be surprised how hard it is sometimes to be 
specific. Until we do, there is no rigor in Mudsville. By the way, 
those terms are just the tip of the iceverb.

Right, but with Unstable Media I also have to think of paint on
unprepared canvas or bad quality ink on on paper, so what a lot of
people would call old media. So an important factor with all this
is the material, bad quality ink or paper will last even shorter that
an old analogue cassette tape.
