Digital Art- A New Era
There has been intense debate and discussion over whether digital art is ‘real’ or not, whether it dilutes the authenticity of the word ‘art’ itself. But no one can deny that this new form has helped more people to participate in the art world. Art is not just for the elite- anyone with passion and creativity can create art, and now, technology can aid people to achieve their artistic dreams.
And it’s not just digital art that technology has spawned. Technology has given the tools of creative outlets to artists, giving them the space ad resources to create bold and unexpected new art, because that is what defines art, meaningful and surprising work that evoked strong emotions from the audiences.
Though it can be used as a force for good, technology has its downsides. What is popular on the Internet ay not always be great art, and what is great may not be loved by everyone. But that’s the thing about art- most genre-defying masterpieces were rejected by the public when they were first released, but over time, their unparalleled excellence came to be appreciated.
It is up to the artist to make use of technology, especially the Internet, and let the world see their work. At Dhayas Foundation, we aim to help artists by providing them with space online, lifting them up.
