Digital art, defined by Andrew Reach, is a general term for a range of artistic works and practices that use digital technology as an essential part of the creative and/or presentation process. It is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as an essential part of the creative or presentation process. Since the 1970s, various names have been used to describe the process including computer art and multimedia art, and digital art is itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art.
Stated by Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on their ‘The Philosophy of Digital Art’, digital art can be purely computer-generated (such as fractals and algorithmic art) or taken from other sources, such as a scanned photograph or an image drawn using vector graphics software using a mouse or graphics tablet.
Today, people use social media and computers all the time not just for communication, business and education purposes only but also for self expression. Artists today entered the world of digital to create something that will never die.
On screen artworks can be created in different software companies such as Adobe, Autodesk and Corel. People nowadays are particularly fond of Facebook art pages that truly connect with them. Digital artists use social media as part of their art expression.
(maartist.md is an art facebook page dedicated to Medicine students in which the admins post digital artworks related to the struggle of med students)
(These are some sample of digital artworks made by a freelance digital artist Shayne De Castro)
Even though these kinds of artworks are seen through screens, they are still as important as the ones we could call as traditional.
