Digital Art

Digital art is an artistic work or practice that use digital technology as an essential part of the creation or presentation process.  Since the 1970’s, various names have been used to describe the process including “computer art”, and “multimedia art.”  Digital art is itself place under the larger umbrella term “new media art.”  Digital Art brings together Art, Technology, Math and Science.

The techniques of digital art are used extensively by the mainstream media in advertisements, and by film-makers to produce visual effects.  Digital art can be purely computer-generated or taken from other sources.  It is possible that general acceptance of the value of digital art will progress in much the same way as the increased acceptance of electronically produced music over the last three decades.
