This could be in the wrong thread, so moderators please move if so.

How many art/photographic galleries now only exhibit digital images through computer screens, which allows them to alter the entire exhibition at the blink of an eye.

I would think that few commercial galleries would do something like that regularly, since the goal of the gallery is to sell prints and buyers like to see just what that are buying. Maybe low-end stuff. There is one gallery I know of that only shows digital images and makes their sales online, changing the images shown daily. But they also have a satisfaction guarantee if the print that arrives is not as expected.

As far as art is concerned, there is a tactile aspect that just cannot be experienced online. I would be suspect of a gallery only selling that way.
