Digital & art in the electronic age

The computer represents the end of Renaissance space in art-the demise of Euclidean geometry Digitization represents the new world order, the transition from simulacra to simulation, from copying to modeling.
Andrew Menard

The computerbegins to assimilate representation itselfvideo, film, and principally photography are being challenged to hold their authority against visual modeling systems that are emerging which eclipse their forms As representation and technology converge, a crisis emerges.
Timothy Druckrey

The new form of digital art was born without pompous manifestations and noisy commercials. Some of us still consider digital and 3d art as something mechanical and artificial, something that in some way is out of human touch. Nothing could be more wrong. Computers dont make art, people do. Computers are creative tools, much sophisticated ones. Once you try them you will never give up. Its a fresh creative drug for a new generation of artistic society. Its addiction with no cure.
George Grie

Definition: Neo-Surrealism or Neosurrealism is the term that has been given to the reappearance of the famous surrealism art movement in the late 1970s. Initially, the movement focused on relating surrealist art with pop-art, but lately modern surreal artists have been exploring other directions within the present movement. For a long time Neosurrealism was called modern surrealism due to a noticeable visual similarity of these two movements. However, the main difference between two styles is that Neosurrealism does not have the original idea of freedom from rational controls or psychic automatism declared by Andr Breton, in his Manifeste du surralisme. Neosurrealism is a combined imagery of dreams and fantasies or subconscious mind visions in fine-art painting, digital-art graphic, and photography. Modern computer technologies brought tons of additional depicting power to contemporary artists. Neosurrealism does not have a particular founder or group. The movement is still not clearly defined, but it develops rapidly adding more professional and amateur art enthusiasts every day. There are thousands contemporary surrealism artists, digital and classic fine art media, who create neo-surrealistic, surreal fantasy, and fantasy realism artworks comparable to Neosurrealism.

Computers represent a challenge to conventional notions of visual representation. Until recently, images have been created through acts of human perception either through skills based in eye/hand coordination or through the lens of photocopying processes of media tools such as photography, cinematic film, or video, where what is seen is recorded through various chemical or electronic processes as an immediate copy of reality. However, the computer reads electronically scanned aspects of reality as information about light structures, storing this numerical information in its database, which can eventually be programmed to appear as visual imagery. Computers greatly accelerate the process of mathematical abstraction in the visual arts. Digital images simulate the real by mathematically modeling it rather than imitating it through a copying process. Simulations cannot be considered as "simulacra" or copies, for there is no point in regarding digital information models as simple fakes or reproductions.
