Q & A

What is technology-based art?

Technology-based art is a form of art created or manipulated using computers and other digital tools. It often involves image manipulation programs and applications, and can be presented either as physical output or virtual experiences.

How does technology-based art differ from traditional art?

Traditional art uses physical tools like brushes, paints, and canvases, while technology-based art employs digital devices and software to create and manipulate images. It relies on electronic and mechanical devices rather than the artist’s hand.

What devices have contributed to the rise of digital art?

Devices like laptops, tablets, and Android phones have evolved into creative tools capable of producing digital art. They allow users to create original works of art, photos, videos, and even animations directly from mobile devices.

What are some examples of technology-based art forms?

Examples include computer/digital art, mobile phone photos and videos, digital photography, digital painting, computer-generated images (CGI), and videos used in TV and film.

How have mobile devices transformed the creation of digital art?

Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets have evolved from communication tools to creative platforms. They enable users to take photos, edit them with various effects, and even produce videos with sound and music, all directly on the device.

What are some popular image manipulation apps for Android devices?

Popular apps include Pixlr (an online image editor), Pic Collage (for making collages), Photo Grid (for creating collages from gallery images), Doodle Booth (for doodling on images), and Flipagram (for creating photo-based short videos).

What is CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery)?

CGI refers to any image created with a computer-based processor or program. These images are prevalent due to the widespread use of computers, and CGI is often used in movies, games, and visual effects.

What is digital photography?

Digital photography involves capturing images using digital cameras or devices with built-in cameras like smartphones and tablets. It allows users to edit, review, and store images instantly, without the need for film development.

What is the difference between a point-and-shoot digital camera and a DSLR camera?

A point-and-shoot camera automates most settings like focus, lighting, and zoom, while a DSLR camera gives the photographer more artistic control, allowing them to manually adjust settings to achieve desired visual effects.

What are some features of digital photography that were not possible with traditional film cameras?

Digital photography allows instant review and deletion of unsatisfactory images, offers automatic image enhancement options like adjusting color and brightness, and provides unique effects like fisheye or pre-set filters for tint and texture.
