The 1990s was the beginning of the digital revolution. However, decades before, there were experiments with using digital as a form of Art. Digital Art is Art made in a digital form. Using data to create Art is still a form of Art not taken as seriously as traditional Art. In 1967 artist Tony Pritchett created a two-minute animation of a centipede on a computer. Going from that to the TeamLab Borderless Museum in Japan. Taking a simple concept and finding ways to mold it and evolve it into a whole new level of Art. Art evolution has always been a scandalous topic. Dada used his Art as a radical literary movement against the culture that supported the First World War. Art has always been about shocking and taking it to the next level. To help keep evolving it. Fluxus was a group of Avant Garde artists that formed a community in the 1960s to 1970s. They created a "culture." Pushing the boundaries of what is expected and acceptable. Using radical Art, strange performances, and upside-down creativity to rid the "normal" expectations of Art. They helped pump creativity and energize into the 60s. They were showing that Art does not have to be restrictive. The beauty of Art, and why I love it so much, is that it is whatever you want it to be. There is endless potential for what you can do and what you can use to do it. Digital Art, especially, has been my outlet for creativity.
