My First Blog

Hey! I am gonna tell you... why I feel particularly interested in collaborative Digital Art.

First of all, computer, a new and powerful creation tool, has allowed artists a new medium for aesthetic exploration. When it coupled with the Internet, which is highly accessible, has allowed for changes in production, dissemination, and popularity of art in contemporary society. This is what I observe a transformation, revolution of Digital Art is currently stems directly from earlier artistic movements, such as the Dada movement that keep art from traditional boring way.


"A man paints with his brains and not with his
hands". Michangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564)

There are a number of advantages to the Digital art movement which makes for new kinds of aesthetic excitement. The technology allows artists with different skills to come together to create a work, and they don't really need to think and work individually. It is interesting that the Internet could enable artists to work together without being close, and the interaction between the artists could also improve the quality of the work as well. These international partnerships help strengthen the artistic bonds around the world, and makes for a much more cohesive art community.

What is the most exciting aspect of Digital Art is its ability to interact between the artists and audience as a community. As an audience, I was required to perceive the piece in some way in order to enjoy it in the past. Now, I am able to actually step into the piece and invest themselves in the enjoyment of it, I can even be an artist and participate in the piece. Undoubtedly, This allows us for a new type of appreciation. I have a strong believe that that technology allows the artists to think differently- more creatively, thus I would like to find out more about the Digital Art in collaborative culture.
