Digital Art

This document provides an overview of digital art and its history. It begins with a definition of digital art as art made using digital technology or presented digitally. It then discusses some key developments in digital art's origins, including early computer art experiments in the 1960s. It also covers the invention of the ENIAC, one of the first general-purpose electronic digital computers. Finally, it discusses digital photography and debates around when photography becomes digital art.

ART
WHAT IS DIGITAL ART?
Some artists use materials like paints
and brushes to create art. Today,
many others also use modern means
of exploring creativity,like video
technology, television, and
computers.
This type of art is called digital art.
Digital Art
- Is work made with digital technology or presented
on digital technology. This includes images done
completely on computer or hand-drawn images
scanned into a computer and finished using a
software program like Adobe Illustrator.

Adobe Illustrator
Digital art can also involve animation and 3D
virtual sculpture renderings as well as projects that
combine several technologies. Some digital art
involves manipulation of video images.

Animation
3D Virtual Sculpture
The term "digital art" was first used in the 1980s in
connection to an early computer painting program.
(This was long before they were called apps, mind
you!) It's a method of art-making that lends itself to a
multimedia format because it can potentially be
viewed in many ways, including on TV and the Internet,
on computers, and on multiple social media platforms.

In short,digital art is a sort of merger between art


and technology. It allows many new ways to make art.
Begginnings of Digital Art

Digital art couldn't really exist without computers.


Those machines so familiar to us today got their start in
the 1940s, when the first true computer, the Electronic
Numerical Integrator and Computer, or the ENIAC, was
created for military purposes.

ENIAC
- Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer
ENIAC was originally built as a war
aid; one of its primary design goals
was to aid the military in calculations
for missile ballistics.
The contract to design and build
ENIAC was signed in June of 1943,
and construction lasted until the
unveiling of the computer on
February 14 of 1946.
ENIAC was conceived and
designed by J. Presper Eckert and
John Mauchly of the University of
Pennsylvania, and it was built at the
University of Pennsylvania's Moore
School of Electrical Engineering.
Inventors of ENIAC

John Presper Eckert John William Mauchly


Early experiments with computer art
came around 1965. German artist
Frieder Nake (1938 - present), who also
happened to be a mathematician,
created a computer algorithm that
enabled the machine to draw a series
of shapes to make artwork. Frieder Nake

An algorithm, by the way, is a


programmed list of instructions that
tells a computer what to do.
The resulting computer-generated
drawings were some of the earliest
examples of art done on a computer.
What Does Digital Photography Mean?
-Digital photography is the process of using electronic and
computing appliances to capture, create, edit and share
digital images/photographs. It encompasses several different
technologies to provide electronic or computer-based
photography services.

-It is mainly used as a means to create, publish or use digital


photographs on computers and/or the Internet.
Explains Digital Photography

Typically, a digital photograph - the outcome of


digital photography - is stored in a bitmap (BMP)
format. However, it can vary from device/technology
and per user requirements. It replaces standard
photography's conventional microfilm with storage
cards or computer storage devices to store/access a
captured/scanned/copied image.

Some electronic and computing technologies that


enable or are part of digital photography are:
Electronic/Digital Cameras- These
capture images/photographs and
store them in built-in/integrated
storage media cards.

Computing Devices - Examples


include a webcam integrated with a
computer/laptop or a scanner that
eables the capturing of existing
physical (paper/card) images.

Digital Photography Software - Purpose-


built software enables the modification
of texture,color, brightness and many
other image attributes.
WHEN DOES PHOTOGRAPHY BECOME DIGITAL ART?
- Photography, like any other art form, becomes art at the
hands of the artist and in the eyes of the viewer. It doesn't
matter if it's digital or analog. The type of camera or
equipment used will not make it Art.
Art is the expression or application of human creative
skills and imagination, producing works to be appreciated
primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

Nowadays, the photographic community tries to make


the distinction between manipulated and unmanipulated
imagery, so as to define a line between "digital art" and the
digital artist, but the means, to the end, is just a tool.
If one says a camera is arecording device and thus records
just what it sees, they clearly have no concept of whta it takes
to makea camera and the programming behind the look each
company is using to differentiate themselves from the next.

Digital art is still generally considered a photograph, it it


is based on a photo and still uses mostly the imagery of the
photo. It is not a documentary photograph, but that
distinction is mostly made for photo journalism rather than
photography as a whole.
Photography and digital art are not mutually exclusive
media as the question suggests. Photography as art is
rather a form of digital art, but only one of the many.
In fact, one of the majors in college is
Electronic Media, Arts and Communications and
it covered a wide variety of topics including
standard audio/video production as well as some
photography. It is entirely possible for a heavily
modified photo to be a photograph and not art.
It is equally possible for a completely unmodified
photo to be a beautiful work of digtal art.
Film
Also called motion picture or movie, series of still
photographs on film, projected in rapid succession onto a
screen by means of light. Because of the optical phenomenon
known as persistence of vision, this gives the illusion of
actual, smooth and continuous movement.
Film is a remarkably effective medium in conveying drama
and especially in the evocation of emotion. The art of motion
pictures is exceedingly complex, requiring contributions from
nearly all the other arts as well as countless technical skills
(for example, in sound recording, photography, and optics).
Emerging at the end of the 19th century, this new art form
became one of the most popular and influential media of the
20th century and beyond.
As a commercial venture, offering fictional
narratives to large audiences in theatres, film
was quickly recognized as perhaps the first truly
mass form of entertainment. Without losing its
broad appeal, the medium also developed as a
means of artistic expression in such areas as
acting, directing, screenwritingg,
cinematography, costume and set design and
music.
