Core Idea

Digital art encompasses artworks created using digital tools and technologies - from computer graphics to interactive media. Understanding digital aesthetics, algorithmic processes, and human-computer interaction is foundational.

Explainer

Digital art uses computers, software, and digital technologies as the primary medium. This includes computer-generated imagery, digital video, interactive installations, and generative art. Digital art practice often embraces unique properties of digital media: reproducibility, interactivity, algorithmic processes, and networked distribution. A foundational question is the relationship between human intention and computational process. Digital aesthetics differ from traditional visual art: there is no original, no material decay, and perfect copies can be made indefinitely.
