Let's talk about New Technologies & Innovative Artistic Practices Interactive exhibition of digital art :) In today’s world defined by technology, what does the term ‘Digital Art’ mean? We take a look at what the term actually refers to; how it differs from other contemporary art movements; who are the notable artists that have left a mark in the field and some of today’s most experimental digital mediums and innovative projects. What is Digital Art? Placed under the larger category of new media art, digital art is defined as any creative practice that uses digital technology as an essential part of the artistic process. Just like traditional fine art, digital art offers multiple mediums and styles that artists can use to express themselves, from digital photography, computer graphics and pixel art to more experimental mediums such as AI-generated art and AR art, everything goes in the spectrum of digital art. Involving techniques that are not distinctive of creative expression only, digital art is ever-evolving and radical in the way it is produced, distributed, and viewed. Although the first digital art experiences date back to the 1980s, its roots can be traced back to the 1960s with artists such as Frieder Nake, the group EAT (Experiments in Art and Technology), and Allan Kaprow exploring the relationship of man and machine in the artistic realm and, especially the latter, envisioning a world of unbounded communication and interconnectedness. Similarly, in the 1970s pioneering video artist Nam June Paik envisioned a future of boundaryless communication and coined the iconic expression “electronic superhighway.” It was in the early 1980s, however, that an artist Harald Cohen with a group of engineerings invented a paint program named AARON: a robotic machine designed to make large drawings on the sheet of paper placed on the floor. Initially, the machine was creating abstract drawings, then those turned more representational over time and the machine was able to imitate shapes from nature. In the ’90s, AARON also started to implement color to the drawings. Even though Cohen was always very careful not to claim AARON’s creativity but rather his own, considering the machine just as a tool for his own expression, his program is now considered as a harbinger of what we know today as Artificial Intelligence. ph.: Aina Putnina (Latvia) River and night , digital print 100 x 160 cm https://lnkd.in/dK5yAekP

QR Codes: The New Frontier of Artistic Innovation QR codes are no longer just tools for digital access—they are becoming a fresh, dynamic canvas for artistic expression. By weaving these codes into paintings, sculptures, and installations, artists are blending traditional art with technology, creating interactive experiences that invite viewers to engage in new ways. A simple scan can unlock hidden messages, exclusive content, or immersive digital environments, adding an extra layer of depth to the artwork. This fusion of art and technology offers artists exciting new avenues for storytelling, extending the narrative beyond the physical piece. However, the challenge lies in balancing aesthetics with functionality. QR codes need to be visually striking while still being scannable, requiring thoughtful design choices in terms of color, form, and placement. Museums and galleries are increasingly incorporating QR code art, enhancing exhibitions with audio guides, artist insights, and behind-the-scenes content. This trend is revolutionizing the art world, seamlessly blending the physical and digital to create richer, more engaging experiences. How could QR codes transform your artistic journey? Imagine embedding a secret narrative within a sculpture or creating a digital extension of a painting. Consider how this technology could elevate your storytelling, captivating audiences and redefining their interaction with your work.
