Digital art and music have evolved greatly over the past 40-100 years, with tools revolutionizing creation and performance but also disrupting business models. New technologies allow artists to create new forms and aesthetics, while computers are a metamedium that can simulate any other medium and expand artistic possibilities in unprecedented ways. The impact of computers and digital tools has encouraged many artists to reformulate their visions and innovate beyond established conventions.

Lecture 5
- 1. ART AND MUSIC DISRUPTION
- 2. 5. DIGITAL ART & MUSIC Digital Art has a history going back 40 years. Digital music can trace its roots back nearly a hundred. Music has seen a dramatic disruption, visual art through video and photography has changed completely. Tools have revolutionised creation and performance and they have decimated business models, particularly in music. Digital music is now the mainstream so why isn’t digital art, or is it? So what are the key features of the digital aesthetic and how are the arts being changed? Suggested Reading for next week: Gere, C. (2004), Digital Culture.

- 3. “Digital is not here to put an end to anything. Rather it is here to expand all things, to combine and to make more things attainable. For the artist, it is the edgiest work of all; the biggest, most exciting challenge in a long history of the synthesis between technology and hand and mind and heart.” J.D.

- 7. It [a computer] is a medium that can dynamically simulate the details of any other medium, including media that cannot exist physically. It is not a tool, though it can act like many tools. It is the first metamedium, and as such it has degrees of freedom for representation and expression never before encountered and as yet barely investigated. [original emphasis] (Kay 1984: 41).

- 8. “Our culture and our species thrive because of our repeated creative innovations in our basic tools and now that we are in this age of computers, where many of our creative minds are now overloaded with information, we must bring creativity support to our tools.” Marc Vass
- 9. Many of the artist contributors noted how working with computers has stimulated them to move their thinking forward. One discusses the importance that digital technology has had in encouraging him to shift the very idea of what he considered to be art. Others found that using computers caused them to reformulate the boundaries of their artistic vision, for example, by adding time as a dimension of the work, research issue. Many artists have been encouraged to break with established conventions. a core element of truly innovative practice. For most artists, the importance of using and having access to expert technological knowledge cannot be overemphasized. As a study of collaboration revealed, some find it vital for each member of the team to have a clear and well-defined role. On the other hand, by their own account, some artists have been struck by the way digital art collaboration leads to the blurring of the distinction between artist and technologist.
