Some possible explanations (with absolutely no data to back them up) on 
limited use of electronic communications by artists:

 1) inexperience with equipment, as was hypothesized,
 2) inexperience with written media (do scriptwriters react differently?),
 3) inexperience reading electronically-authored compositions or 
     non-face-to-face communication in general,
 4) lack of peer interest,
 5) inadequacy of electronic media for describing graphical topics,
 6) social prejudice against things/people electronic
 7) inadequate productivity improvement (related to #1).

I find only explanation #5 directly related to the parties being artists.
