Hi there! I am a freelance writer who lives and breaths content on a daily basis. I consider myself to be a living paradox. An old soul trapped in a modern world. A self-proclaimed hopeless romantic and a professional over-thinker. I can't start anything unless I have my coffee. Writing has been and always will be my way of calming the storms in my heart and mind.

Art, together with technology, makes new and interesting art forms. Artists, nowadays, are looking for new ways to make fresh art pieces, that go beyond the usual or traditional ones. Art is becoming more and more modern as it inspires technology to develop tools and techniques to create it.

Art Exhibitions

The old ways of exhibiting art used to be that you go into a gallery with your portfolio and the gallery decides whether your work is good enough to exhibit. Artists, nowadays, except for a few, don’t do this anymore. They go online, upload their art pictures, and exhibit them for all the world to see. Now, that is smart marketing.

It does not have to be a traditional art gallery to get noticed. Sometimes, all you need is a computer to make a name for yourself.

Strengthening Relationships

Some collectors who look for specific works of art can make use of social media. There are plenty of artists to choose from when in search of a particular piece. This will also strengthen the bond within the two if the collector keeps on patronizing the work of a specific artist. Not only is social media a powerful tool for collectors, but also for the general public who are in search of different and unique art pieces.

Disadvantages of Technology

Technology in art also has its disadvantages, but only because artists might create a less than acceptable art piece not fit to showcase.

With all the technology being developed now and handed on a silver plate, anything is possible. It seems that art is so easy to make and we don’t realize how bad it was done. So, caution is important when buying art online, too. There are many masterpieces, but there are also plenty of undesirables out there.

The Future of Art

Art should always be evolving, moving forward, pushed beyond its boundaries, and inventing new ways and forms. Artists of contemporary art should make use of technology as a foundation for creating new and fresh art pieces.

It should provoke a viewer’s emotions. There are various operating systems and software programs that are made available to create art.

They are a great medium for different artistic needs. Some examples are Destination Modern Art, ArtWeaver, The Art Zone, SketchUp7, and ArtRage, to name a few. These programs are great for experimenting with digital art.

Bottom Line

Art always inspires creativity and imagination, and technology makes it possible to make the imagination become a reality. Art and technology are somehow linked that way. Explore the possibilities of new ways to make art that are powerful, thought-provoking, and emotionally engaging.
