Images on a screen, or a painted painting, etc, I disagree.

There is, objectively, data being presented, which we perceive.

You're glossing over the importance of a particular scale, the scale at which humans operate in on a daily basis, and making the assumption that reality is what's happening at a smaller scale.

This is incomplete.

If we want to talk about the image, the underlying components become progressively less important as the scale decreases. When we view a painting, or an image on a screen, when are less interested in up quarks, down quarks, and electrons, and more interested in the image and the medium.
