ARTS-WEEK 1

2ND QUARTER

Technology-based art is essentially computer-generated and manipulated. With technology being


a fundamental force in the development and evolution of art, they are interlinked.

Computer arts or digital arts first came on the scene in the early 1960s. Understandably, this was
due to the constant development of technology. Thus, the early experimenters were not necessarily
artists, but engineers and scientists who had access to and experience with the hardware needed.

Digital Arts Defined Digital Arts describe technological arts, with fluid boundaries offering many
possible interpretations of the terminology. As such, we now prefer the terms digital art and new
media which can be used interchangeably with some nuances. In other words, while some works
rely on digital tools to magnify an already-existing medium, others use as digital technology as an
intrinsic and indissociable component in the making of the artifact.

Computer/digital arts make use of electronic and mechanical devices, rather than the artist’s own
hand, to produce the desired images and effects. Thus, these are definitely technology-based art
forms. In recent decades, personal gadgets such as laptops, tablets, and android phones have
incorporated the artistic capabilities of the large-scale computers. So it is now possible for anyone
to be a digital artist.
