Digital Media And Video Art And New Media Art

The history of digital art, which can be more broadly referred to as electronic art, is not only written whilst affected by the consolidation of the aesthetic and foundation that Stewart Brand claims for contemporary culture, but also in the very acceptance of digital art by the institutions and curators of the art world. It is a reality that digital art has remained in a transition for a considerable period of time and has yet to be established as a proper discipline.

Film and Photography has changed dramatically over the decades, from the camera obscura, pinhole, lomography and now we are at an age where almost everybody in the world has the means to make films and photographs in their pockets. Since the means of making filmic and photographic art are still so readily available, the rarity and uniqueness of the media has been greatly diluted. This makes it harder for artists to establish themselves, on the other hand this also means ; because there is more competition that art pieces are becoming more and more exceptional. I will be looking at how this affects modern art and whether or not I believe this art form has attributed to it.

In the article “Art Form For The Digital Age,” by Henry Jenkins, Jenkins elaborates on the ever expanding video game industry and cites that it is now being considered a digital art. The gaming industry is also said to be the form of art in today’s economy that has grown the most.

Between the use of film or digital photography, film is the more effective method when looking for originality and creativity. With the adoption of digital photography, the younger generations, as well as the older and more current photographers are becoming lazy. These groups must recognize that the art of the photograph is being jeopardized by the digital camera and the camera phone. For the current photographers as well as amateur photographers, this essay will serve as testimony to film as well as other chemical methods, and how they shouldn’t be ignored, but preferred. The digital era has had a massive impact on the art world and all of its mediums, but for photography this impact has resulted in the removal of the human from the photograph making process. This intimate process is what makes it an art form. All of films imperfections and unique qualities, as well as its monetary value and scarcity are just a few factors that have made it so precious. To replace this entire process with a microchip is offensive and undermines the importance of the process that is needed to make a photograph. Anyone can take a picture but you must make a photograph, and this skill is being simplified to a digital camera. The impact of the digital era on photography has hindered the process of making a photograph; painting the art form obsolete in today’s society.

This both sculpture is of a man, one is looking at a direction, while one is in the middle of a swinging motion. Both sculptures is are made of marble. Marble is “metamorphic rock derived from limestone, composed mostly of calcite”. Back then marble was commonly used in a lot of the sculptures that were made. In the Michelangelo sculpture of David, he is holding something in the lower shoulder, looking at a certain direction. In the Gianlorenzo sculpture, David is holding a weapon, while having a different kind of emotion than Michelangelo’s David. Both sculptures would have taken a long time to do, each one is very detailed, and has their own personal meaning behind why they are the way they are.

However, computer artists now see the importance of these works as they started a “new technologically-grounded aesthetic,”3 that would be an integral part of the development of art through computers.

After writing this reflection and critique, I was able to ascertain more of an appreciation for artists that have used technological modes, such as iMovie, to demonstrate the influence that digital art has on performances and audiences. The group exchanged and contributed very thoughtful ideas and concepts that undoubtedly influenced the final performance. This paper discussed the underpinning ideas behind our motif, the process of arriving to an idea, the physical process and structure of presenting the performance and issues that arose in the performance. The content of this topic truly shows the ever-growing influence and power that technology holds over affecting everyday videos, photos and other modes of

“Art Form For The Digital Age,” by Henry Jenkins is about gaming expanding and how it's being considered a digital art. The growing game industry is said to be the most growing form of art in the economy today.

In today’s modern world, there has been many debates on what should be considered art. Art and technology are connected because technology is a way to display art pieces and alter them. Art is what a person uses to express their feelings and what their point of view is on a certain topic. Technology is several types of equipment that are used to provide information and make life easier. Animation, photo editing, and actually taking technological devices to create sculptures are all examples of how technology and art are interrelated.

Lynn Hershman’s work ‘DiNA’ by all aspects comes under the wide umbrella of the term ‘Art’. As any medium that can communicate and express an artist’s idea and thoughts can be called as art. Electronic and digital media is becoming the new form of communication and slowly making its mark in the art fields as a medium. Although it’s an unconventional way but its reach to the audience is the same as a painting or any other art form.

Digital art is work of art that uses digital technology or a computer as either a medium or a creative tool. In the 1970s, a number of artists had begun to teach themselves to program, rather than relying on collaborations with computer programmers. The 1980s saw digital technologies reach into everyday life, with the widely adopted computers for both business and personal use. The term 'Computer Art' is used less frequently to describe artists and designers working with the computer today. Many artists who now work with computers incorporate this technology into their practice as just one tool amongst many that they may use interchangeably. Web art works “The Mirror that Changes”, “24-Hour Venus”, and “I Wish I Was Born in a Hollywood Movie” are all Digital art forms that uses light, video, and sound to evoke emotion.

Creative media uses an art and a craft as a meaningful activity for engagement clients. I chose painting for my creative media because it is my hobby. It gives relaxation from the everyday busy life. In addition, it rejuvenates mood and express my non-verbal feelings. I performed activity of painting inside the house in my study room. My study room has a big window so, I am getting full sun light until the evening 6p.m.that is useful to find out exact poster colors shades for coloring picture. I settle down on my study room carpet floor for performing drawing and filling colors because it was a comfortable sitting position for me while I was drawing. The material and supply I used for painting was watercolor painting paper, painting brushes, poster colors, thick paper towels, pencil,

Much of media art offers radically different experiences for the viewer than we may expect from more traditional forms of art. Media art can represent temporal and spatial paramenters that can be changed to create

Art in general is undergoing several changes with artists beginning to think about spatial illusions and human form. Despite this, the changes seem subtle and understated. This discussion seeks to highlight the changes that are happening in art and how artists are creating space in the work they do.

In today’s society, technology and art go hand in hand. Art has been around for a long time but technology such as computers are still very new. These two mediums have comingled and now evolve and effect the other. Art has changed to reflect the vast improvements technology has contributed to communication and the ability to create using digital space. Technology has also changed with artist pushing the boundaries of what is technical possible in the digital realm. Much of today’s art is created and presented in digital formats. The question of whether digital art is truly art has risen among many critics in the art community.
