Digital art is an art created on the computer in digital form. The medium of computer art was developed during 1960s and opened new possibilities for abstract and figurative art.
Computer
Computer art operates by means of electronic programs that divide the surface of the cathode-ray tube (CRT) of the computer monitor into a grid of tiny boxes called "picture elements" (pixels), which can be individually addressed electronically to create a design.
David Em
One of the best artists working in electronic painting mode is David Em. He uses the term "computer imaging" to create an imaginary landscape. Em has created scenes of alien worlds using advanced computer-graphic equipment.
Sonia Landy Sheridan
Sonia Landy Sheridan is one of the most inventive artists. She combined in a single computer-graphic work images made by an electronic camera and those drawn by hand.
Margaret Benyon
Margaret Benyon is one of the most interesting artists experimenting with holographed portraits. Working with high-tech labs with scientist partners, Benyon has investigated many of the parameters of the relationship between perceptions of physical and holographic.
Computer Graphics and Holography
Computer graphics and holography use light for the making of images, and, like photography, both media can incorporate specifically recorded camera images. But these media differ in that only computer graphics allows the artist to work with new forms.
