Digital art refers to any form of creation in digitized language, where technology is largely predominant. Sometimes digital media replace creation as such, but in digital art, it is more about the creation of machines, computers, digital technologies than media.
The computer is a new artistic medium. As with any art form, there is everything from 3D manga drawings to gigantic installations that project digital images onto building facades.
Digital art, which is believed to have appeared in the 80s, was born much earlier, in the 60s, or even the 50s with the appearance of the first mixing consoles in recording studios. The “father of electroacoustics”, Pierre Henry, participated in the popularization of digital sound art, thanks to his piece Psyché Rock.
The development of visual art, even if it was taking its first steps in the digital world since the 50s, emerged a little later, during the 80s, when this art form remains marginal and confidential.
The techno movement and electronic music contributed greatly to the emergence of this new art form in the 1990s; even the Matrix movie, which is not yet considered a digital art form.
Digital art today covers many artistic disciplines, such as video, film, television, live performance, and even literature with poetry.
The techniques of digital art refers to any form of virtual art, network art. Also called interactive digital art, cyberart, or net art.
