In the age of digital
reproduction, interactive art has the following seven special features: it is
portable, it is private (not public), it represents realistic details, it has a
kaleidoscopic orientation, it requires a network connection, it enables
feedback/replies, and it can be archived. Digital reproduction has changed the
creation and reception of art in many ways. Years ago no one thought to remix a
song and call it their own. No one thought that the tools would be available to
edit computerized images on a singe device.
Digital art is the most portable and mobile art to this day. You
can send a digitalized picture over the internet across the world in seconds.
You can share a song or post a tweet interacting with people all over the
world. Digital art has the ability to be private. In a way, everyone’s
personalized Facebook page is art. It is an individual digitally expressing
oneself through the form of social media. Art is shared on Facebook, twitter,
and Instagram.
Nowadays,
if someone were to die, you usually hear about it first from some form of
media. Whether it’s the news, Facebook, or even online articles. The internet
grows more and more complex by the minute. Millions of Google searches happen
every minute, an endless pit of information. It is the most realistic, detailed
form of art out there and the best example is remixed music. Remixing songs
remains a controversy to this day with two different standpoints. One being
that it is copyright of original material and the other side argues it is a
totally different song. Neither side can truly prove if they are right or wrong
but it’s just some controversy that spurs from digital art. Social media and
email require internet connection to be able to share anything. People can
reply and comment their own opinions anywhere on the internet regardless if it
is profane or rude. My generation is filled with keyboard warriors, a self
explaining term. And everything on the internet never fully disappears, even if
it’s deleted.
