The archiving issues are huge, but they can be dealt with. Today, many artists work with Photoshop. Lots of painters are working on computers. To a certain extent, it's an accepted part of the creative process. But other media and more advanced programming are not as widely accepted.
Institutions seem to be springing up faster than ever before.
Because of the high cost of research and development. At the center, there is not a direct relationship between artists and corporate sponsors. The institution raises the money and acts as the intermediary. As long as it's not compromised, I don't see artists being unduly influenced by corporate interests. Well, museum attendance is at an all-time high.
