Some of it may be of technical or historical interest, some of it may be innovative and unusual, and some of it may have potential (dare we say it) as high art.<\/p>\n<p>As an online museum, MOCA is host to hundreds of world-class digital artists and thousands of their images, all available for viewing online. It is one of the most heavily-trafficked, comprehensive, frequently-updated and respected computer art museums on the Web. The goal is to keep abreast of the latest and best in digital art. Both beginning and advanced artists frequently visit the site, if only to see what the competition is doing.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the MOCA Virtual Museum at:&nbsp;the <a href=\"http:\/\/moca.virtual.museum\/\">MOCA Museum of&nbsp;Computer Art<\/a> and take a look at what&#8217;s new in the world of Digital Art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was pleased to join an international group of digital artists at the inaugural exhibition of their brick-and-mortar gallery at MOCA, the Museum of Computer Art, in Brooklyn NY.
