How Technology is Integrated in Arts
Visual arts
Let’s examine the impact of technology on visual arts first:
Drawing and painting
Drawing and painting both show the obvious presence of technology is integrated in arts:
Production and transformation
Gone are the days when artists spent days in art studios in solitude. While they can still do that, nowadays they can take pictures of the art, or create it entirely digitally anywhere they go with computers, smartphones, and tablets. Better yet, they can manipulate or completely transform said art through photo editing software and apps, with very little experience. Such apps, besides a whole host of useful tools, also include tips and tips and tutorials from leading artists worldwide. So, as far as these two are concerned, technology made a positive effect on labor, time consumption, price, and ecology.
Self-assessment and tracking
Artists benefit from self-reflection, and instead of having canvases pile up, they can create digital portfolios of finished work, and make them private, invitation-only, or public. Even better, artists can now have hundreds, if not thousands of WIP (work in progress) pieces, switch between them, or combine them effortlessly. This also helps with the organization – their creative process is sometimes all over the place.
Peer-to-peer assessment and collaboration
Another benefit of digital portfolios is that they serve as promotions. This can lead to commissions, something that required expensive gallery space, special events, and connections. It can also bring reviews, suggestions, and even collaborations with fellow artists. The last option used to be impossible or very hard in the past without technology. To collaborate, artists had to be physically present and then either bump into each other or take turns. Nowadays, technology and the Internet made it possible for hundreds of artists from across the globe to contribute to the same art piece, simultaneously or in increments. Do we need to mention art-based social media or forums that significantly raised the potential of cooperation?
