Digital art refers to any artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. It can also refer to computational art that uses and engages with digital media. Since the 1960s, various names have been used to describe digital art, including computer art , electronic art , multimedia art , and new media art .

48-722: Event One was an early digital art exhibition held at the Royal College of Art (RCA), London , England , in 1969. Event One was organised over two days during 29–30 March 1969 in the Gulbenkian Hall at the RCA by the Computer Arts Society (CAS), that had been established the year before in 1968. An associated catalogue was produced. The exhibition was reviewed in Page , the Bulletin of

96-426: A line at infinity is appended to σ . As any line in this extension of σ corresponds to a plane through O , and since any pair of such planes intersects in a line through O , one can conclude that any pair of lines in the extension intersect: the point of intersection lies where the plane intersection meets σ or the line at infinity. Thus the axiom of projective geometry, requiring all pairs of lines in

144-406: A metric to the real projective plane. One may also conceive of a hyperbolic plane , which obeys hyperbolic geometry and has a negative curvature . Abstractly, one may forget all structure except the topology, producing the topological plane, which is homeomorphic to an open disk . Viewing the plane as an affine space produces the affine plane , which lacks a notion of distance but preserves

192-440: A plane is a flat two- dimensional surface that extends indefinitely. Euclidean planes often arise as subspaces of three-dimensional space R 3 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}} . A prototypical example is one of a room's walls, infinitely extended and assumed infinitesimal thin. The elliptic plane is the real projective plane provided with a metric . Kepler and Desargues used

240-657: A purchase to license or use any image, while those operating under freemium models like Flaticon, Vecteezy, etc., provide some images for free and others for fee based on tiers. In contemporary art, the term digital art is used primarily to describe visual art that is made with digital tools, and also is highly computational, and explicitly engages with digital technologies. Art historian Christiane Paul writes that it "is highly problematic to classify all art that makes use of digital technologies somewhere in its production and dissemination process as digital art since it makes it almost impossible to arrive at any unifying statement about

288-449: A broad field of activity and incorporates many forms. Some resemble video installations, particularly large-scale works involving projections and live video capture . By using projection techniques that enhance an audience's impression of sensory envelopment, many digital installations attempt to create immersive environments. Others go even further and attempt to facilitate a complete immersion in virtual realms . This type of installation

336-736: A computer platform and digitally outputting the resulting image as painted on canvas . Despite differing viewpoints on digital technology's impact on the arts, a consensus exists within the digital art community about its significant contribution to expanding the creative domain, i.e., that it has greatly broadened the creative opportunities available to professional and non-professional artists alike. Digital visual art consists of either 2D visual information displayed on an electronic visual display or information mathematically translated into 3D information viewed through perspective projection on an electronic visual display. The simplest form, 2D computer graphics , reflects how one might draw with

384-532: A creative effort similar to the open source movement and the creative commons in which users can collaborate on a project to create art . Pop surrealist artist Ray Caesar works in Maya (a 3D modeling software used for digital animation), using it to create his figures as well as the virtual realms in which they exist. Computer-generated animations are animations created with a computer from digital models created by 3D artists or procedurally generated . The term

432-458: A graphics program called ProPaint. Warhol manipulated the image by adding color using flood fills. 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 . Artworks are considered digital paintings when created similarly to non-digital paintings but using software on

480-466: A painting through a picture generator. Generally, the user can set the input, and the input content includes detailed picture content that the user wants. For example, the content can be a scene's content, characters, weather, character relationships, specific items, etc. It can also include selecting a specific artist style, screen style, image pixel size, brightness, etc. Then picture generators will return several similar pictures generated according to

528-576: A pencil or paper. In this case, however, the image is on the computer screen, and the instrument you draw with might be a tablet stylus or a mouse. What is generated on your screen might appear to be drawn with a pencil, pen, or paintbrush. The second kind is 3D computer graphics , where the screen becomes a window into a virtual environment , where you arrange objects to be "photographed" by the computer. Typically 2D computer graphics use raster graphics as their primary means of source data representations, whereas 3D computer graphics use vector graphics in

576-418: A plane as a 2-dimensional real manifold , a topological plane which is provided with a differential structure . Again in this case, there is no notion of distance, but there is now a concept of smoothness of maps, for example a differentiable or smooth path (depending on the type of differential structure applied). The isomorphisms in this case are bijections with the chosen degree of differentiability. In

624-474: A plane to intersect, is confirmed. In mathematics , a projective plane is a geometric structure that extends the concept of a plane . In the ordinary Euclidean plane, two lines typically intersect at a single point, but there are some pairs of lines (namely, parallel lines) that do not intersect. A projective plane can be thought of as an ordinary plane equipped with additional "points at infinity" where parallel lines intersect. Thus any two distinct lines in

672-534: A portrait of Abraham Lincoln processed on a computer by Leon Harmon published in "The Recognition of Faces". The technique is similar to what later became known as photographic mosaics . Andy Warhol created digital art using an Amiga where the computer was publicly introduced at the Lincoln Center , New York, in July 1985. An image of Debbie Harry was captured in monochrome from a video camera and digitized into

720-556: A projective plane intersect at exactly one point. Renaissance artists, in developing the techniques of drawing in perspective , laid the groundwork for this mathematical topic. The archetypical example is the real projective plane , also known as the extended Euclidean plane. This example, in slightly different guises, is important in algebraic geometry , topology and projective geometry where it may be denoted variously by PG(2, R) , RP , or P 2 (R), among other notations. There are many other projective planes, both infinite, such as

768-438: A sense of community, democratizing the art world and shifting how art is created, consumed, and appreciated. Plane (mathematics) In mathematics , a plane is a two-dimensional space or flat surface that extends indefinitely. A plane is the two-dimensional analogue of a point (zero dimensions), a line (one dimension) and three-dimensional space . When working exclusively in two-dimensional Euclidean space ,

816-437: Is a geometric space in which two real numbers are required to determine the position of each point . It is an affine space , which includes in particular the concept of parallel lines . It has also metrical properties induced by a distance , which allows to define circles , and angle measurement . A Euclidean plane with a chosen Cartesian coordinate system is called a Cartesian plane . In Euclidean geometry ,

864-890: Is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . This article related to an art display, art museum or gallery in the United Kingdom is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Digital art Subcategories for the art include digital painting, where artists use software to emulate techniques using in physical painting, digital illustration, which involves creating rendered images for other media, and 3D modeling, where artists craft three-dimensional objects and scenes. Pieces of digital art range from captured in unique displays and restricted from duplication to popular memes available for reproduction in commercial products. Repositories for digital art include pieces stored on physical media, galleries on display on websites, and collections for download for free or purchase. In

912-480: Is generally site-specific , scalable , and without fixed dimensionality , meaning it can be reconfigured to accommodate different presentation spaces. Noah Wardrip-Fruin 's "Screen" (2003) is an example of interactive digital installation art which makes use of a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment to create an interactive experience. Scott Snibbe 's "Boundary Functions" is an example of augmented reality digital installation art, which response to people who enter

960-537: Is not the only geometry that the plane may have. The plane may be given a spherical geometry by using the stereographic projection . This can be thought of as placing a sphere tangent to the plane (just like a ball on the floor), removing the top point, and projecting the sphere onto the plane from this point. This is one of the projections that may be used in making a flat map of part of the Earth's surface. The resulting geometry has constant positive curvature. Alternatively,

1008-523: Is usually applied to works created entirely with a computer. Movies make heavy use of computer-generated graphics; they are called computer-generated imagery (CGI) in the film industry. In the 1990s and early 2000s, CGI advanced enough that, for the first time, it was possible to create realistic 3D computer animation , although films had been using extensive computer images since the mid-70s. A number of modern films have been noted for their heavy use of photo-realistic CGI. Digital painting mainly refers to

1056-461: The complex projective plane , and finite, such as the Fano plane . In addition to its familiar geometric structure, with isomorphisms that are isometries with respect to the usual inner product, the plane may be viewed at various other levels of abstraction . Each level of abstraction corresponds to a specific category . At one extreme, all geometrical and metric concepts may be dropped to leave

1104-452: The gnomonic projection to relate a plane σ to points on a hemisphere tangent to it. With O the center of the hemisphere, a point P in σ determines a line OP intersecting the hemisphere, and any line L ⊂ σ determines a plane OL which intersects the hemisphere in half of a great circle . The hemisphere is bounded by a plane through O and parallel to σ. No ordinary line of σ corresponds to this plane; instead

1152-457: The topological plane, which may be thought of as an idealized homotopically trivial infinite rubber sheet, which retains a notion of proximity, but has no distances. The topological plane has a concept of a linear path, but no concept of a straight line. The topological plane, or its equivalent the open disc, is the basic topological neighborhood used to construct surfaces (or 2-manifolds) classified in low-dimensional topology . Isomorphisms of

1200-649: The "interests and culture(s) of people of color." In 2022, an amateur artist using Midjourney won the first-place $ 300 prize in a digital art competition at the Colorado State Fair . Also in 2022, Refik Anadol created an artificial intelligence art installation at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, based on the museum's own collection. Repositories for 2D and vector digital art offer pieces for download, either individually or in bulk. Proprietary repositories require

1248-498: The 1960s. Since their design in 2014, some artists have created artwork using a generative adversarial network (GAN) , which is a machine learning framework that allows two "algorithms" to compete with each other and iterate. It can be used to generate pictures that have visual effects similar to traditional fine art. The essential idea of image generators is that people can use text descriptions to let AI convert their text into visual picture content. Anyone can turn their language into

1296-567: The Computer Arts Society. Since Event One , CAS has donated its collection to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Event Two was organised at the RCA during 12–17 July 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Event One , including some digitally-produced artworks by artists, who also exhibited at Event One . Event Three is planned for 2069. This London -related article

1344-477: The NFT is proven to be the owner of the art piece. While the technology received many critics and has many flaws related to plagiarism and fraud ( due to its almost completely unregulated nature ), auction houses, museums and galleries around the world started collaborations and partnerships with digital artists, selling NFTs associated with digital artworks ( via NFT platforms ) and showcasing those artworks ( associated to

1392-532: The analysis of large collections, close reading involves one piece of artwork. Whilst 2D and 3D digital art is beneficial as it allows the preservation of history that would otherwise have been destroyed by events like natural disasters and war, there is the issue of who should own these 3D scans – i.e., who should own the digital copyrights. Various online platforms have become essential for digital artists to share, promote, and sell their work. These platforms provide artists with access to global audiences and foster

1440-415: The art form. Computer demos are computer programs, usually non-interactive, that produce audiovisual presentations. They are a novel form of art, which emerged as a consequence of home computer revolution in the early 1980s. In the classification of digital art, they can be best described as real-time procedurally generated animated audio-visuals. This form of art does not concentrate only on aesthetics of

1488-510: The complex numbers) complex manifold , sometimes called the complex line . However, this viewpoint contrasts sharply with the case of the plane as a 2-dimensional real manifold. The isomorphisms are all conformal bijections of the complex plane, but the only possibilities are maps that correspond to the composition of a multiplication by a complex number and a translation. In addition, the Euclidean geometry (which has zero curvature everywhere)

1536-488: The creation of immersive virtual reality installations. A possible third paradigm is to generate art in 2D or 3D entirely through the execution of algorithms coded into computer programs. This can be considered the native art form of the computer, and an introduction to the history of which is available in an interview with computer art pioneer Frieder Nake. Fractal art , Datamoshing , algorithmic art , and real-time generative art are examples. 3D graphics are created via

1584-488: The creation of original art, research methods that utilize AI have been generated to quantitatively analyze digital art collections. This has been made possible due to the large-scale digitization of artwork in the past few decades. Although the main goal of digitization was to allow for accessibility and exploration of these collections, the use of AI in analyzing them has brought about new research perspectives. Two computational methods, close reading and distant viewing, are

1632-511: The definite article is used, so the Euclidean plane refers to the whole space. Several notions of a plane may be defined. The Euclidean plane follows Euclidean geometry , and in particular the parallel postulate . A projective plane may be constructed by adding "points at infinity" where two otherwise parallel lines would intersect, so that every pair of lines intersects in exactly one point. The elliptic plane may be further defined by adding

1680-597: The early 1960s, John Whitney developed the first computer-generated art using mathematical operations. In 1963, Ivan Sutherland invented the first user interactive computer-graphics interface known as Sketchpad . Between 1974 and 1977, Salvador Dalí created two big canvases of Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at a distance of 20 meters is transformed into the portrait of Abraham Lincoln (Homage to Rothko) and prints of Lincoln in Dalivision based on

1728-402: The final presentation, but also on complexities and skills involved in creating the presentation. As such, it can be fully enjoyed only by persons with a high level of knowledge in the field of accompanying computer technologies. On the other hand, many of the created pieces of art are primarily aesthetic or amusing, and those can be enjoyed by general public. Digital installation art constitutes

1776-599: The input (generally, 4 pictures are given now). After receiving the results generated by picture generators, the user can select one picture as a result he wants or let the generator redraw and return to new pictures. In both 1991 and 1992, Karl Sims won the Golden Nica award at Prix Ars Electronica for his 3D AI animated videos using artificial evolution. In 2009, Eric Millikin won the Pulitzer Prize along with several other awards for his artificial intelligence art that

1824-453: The installation by drawing lines between people, indicating their personal space. Internet art is digital art that uses the specific characteristics of the internet and is exhibited on the internet. Blockchain, and more specifically NFTs, are associated with digital art since the NFTs craze of 2020 and 2021. Digital art is a common use case for NFTs. By minting a piece of digital art the owner of

1872-572: The notion of collinearity . Conversely, in adding more structure, one may view the plane as a 1-dimensional complex manifold , called the complex line . Many fundamental tasks in mathematics, geometry , trigonometry , graph theory , and graphing are performed in a two-dimensional or planar space. In mathematics , a Euclidean plane is a Euclidean space of dimension two , denoted E 2 {\displaystyle {\textbf {E}}^{2}} or E 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {E} ^{2}} . It

1920-431: The opposite direction of abstraction, we may apply a compatible field structure to the geometric plane, giving rise to the complex plane and the major area of complex analysis . The complex field has only two isomorphisms that leave the real line fixed, the identity and conjugation . In the same way as in the real case, the plane may also be viewed as the simplest, one-dimensional (in terms of complex dimension , over

1968-410: The plane can also be given a metric which gives it constant negative curvature giving the hyperbolic plane . The latter possibility finds an application in the theory of special relativity in the simplified case where there are two spatial dimensions and one time dimension. (The hyperbolic plane is a timelike hypersurface in three-dimensional Minkowski space .) The one-point compactification of

2016-468: The plane is homeomorphic to a sphere (see stereographic projection ); the open disk is homeomorphic to a sphere with the "north pole" missing; adding that point completes the (compact) sphere. The result of this compactification is a manifold referred to as the Riemann sphere or the complex projective line . The projection from the Euclidean plane to a sphere without a point is a diffeomorphism and even

2064-553: The process of creating paintings on computer software based on computers or graphic tables . Through pixel simulation, digital brushes in digital software (see the software in Digital painting ) can imitate traditional painting paints and tools, such as oil, acrylic acid, pastel, charcoal , and airbrush . Users of the software can also customize the pixel size to achieve a unique visual effect (customized brushes). Artists have used artificial intelligence to create artwork since at least

2112-405: The process of designing imagery from geometric shapes, polygons , or NURBS curves to create three-dimensional objects and scenes for use in various media such as film, television , print, rapid prototyping , games/simulations, and special visual effects. There are many software programs for doing this. The technology can enable collaboration , lending itself to sharing and augmenting by

2160-959: The respective NFTs ) both in virtual galleries and real-life screens, monitors and TVs. In March 2024, Sotheby's presented an auction highlighting significant contributions of digital artists over the previous decade, one of many record-breaking auctions of digital artwork by the auction house. These auctions look broadly at the cultural impact of digital art in the 21-st century and featured work by artists such as Jennifer & Kevin McCoy , Vera Molnár , Claudia Hart , Jonathan Monaghan and Sarah Zucker . Notable art theorists and historians in this field include: Oliver Grau , Jon Ippolito , Christiane Paul , Frank Popper , Jasia Reichardt , Mario Costa , Christine Buci-Glucksmann , Dominique Moulon , Robert C. Morgan , Roy Ascott , Catherine Perret , Margot Lovejoy , Edmond Couchot , Tina Rivers Ryan , Fred Forest and Edward A. Shanken . In addition to

2208-494: The topological plane are all continuous bijections . The topological plane is the natural context for the branch of graph theory that deals with planar graphs , and results such as the four color theorem . The plane may also be viewed as an affine space , whose isomorphisms are combinations of translations and non-singular linear maps. From this viewpoint there are no distances, but collinearity and ratios of distances on any line are preserved. Differential geometry views

2256-623: The typical approaches used to analyze digitized art. Close reading focuses on specific visual aspects of one piece. Some tasks performed by machines in close reading methods include computational artist authentication and analysis of brushstrokes or texture properties. In contrast, through distant viewing methods, the similarity across an entire collection for a specific feature can be statistically visualized. Common tasks relating to this method include automatic classification, object detection, multimodal tasks, knowledge discovery in art history, and computational aesthetics. Whereas distant viewing includes

2304-567: Was critical of government corruption in Detroit and resulted in the city's mayor being sent to jail. In 2018 Christie's auction house in New York sold an artificial intelligence work, "Edmond de Bellamy" for US$ 432,500. It was created by a collective in Paris named "Obvious". In 2019, Stephanie Dinkins won the Creative Capital award for her creation of an evolving artificial intelligence based on
