15. TECHNOLOGY-BASED ART
• ESSENTIALLY COMPUTER-GENERATED AND/OR MANIPULATED.
• TODAY’S COMPUTER ARTISTS EMPLOY THE EVER-EXPANDING POWERS
OF
• IMAGE MANIPULATION PROGRAMS AND APPLICATIONS TO CREATE
THEIR WORKS WHICH CAN APPEAR IN AN ENTIRE RANGE OF MEDIA—
WHETHER AS A PHYSICAL OUTPUT OR A VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE.

16. COMPUTER/DIGITAL ARTS
• EARLY 1960S
• THERE WERE QUESTIONS AS TO WHETHER
IT WAS, IN FACT, “TRUE ART” SINCE IT
MADE USE OF ELECTRONIC AND
MECHANICAL DEVICES.
• General acceptance - exciting and thought-
provoking form of modern art.
• Computer art masters or “superstars” came to the
fore in Europe, Russia, and the United States.

21. SOME DIGITAL ARTISTS HAVE EVEN USED
THEIR WORKS TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS
ON POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND CULTURAL
ISSUES; AS WELL AS TO ADVOCATE
CAUSES THAT ARE CRITICAL TO MODERN
LIFE, SUCH AS THE ENVIRONMENT AND
CLIMATE CHANGE. OTHERS EVEN EXPLORE
THE PHILOSOPHICAL RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
AND THE ARTS.

22. THE PHILIPPINE SCENE
• IN OUR COUNTRY, FILIPINO ARTISTS WERE LIKEWISE INFLUENCED BY THE
TECHNOLOGY TREND IN ART. HOWEVER, THIS WAS MORE IN THE
COMMERCIAL SPHERE.
• FROM THE 1960S TO THE 1990S, THEIR COMPUTER-GENERATED WORKS
WERE PRIMARILY GEARED TOWARDS ILLUSTRATING FOR INTERNATIONAL
COMIC BOOKS.
• IN FACT, FILIPINO ILLUSTRATORS EARNED QUITE A REPUTATION FOR THEIR
TALENTS AND WERE HIGHLY IN DEMAND IN THIS FIELD. THEY EVENTUALLY
BECAME EQUALLY SOUGHT AFTER AS ANIMATORS FOR SOME OF THE
MAJOR FILM PRODUCTION COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL
AS ANIMATED TELEVISION SERIES PRODUCED IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

23. • EVENTUALLY, HOWEVER, THE CONCEPT OF COMPUTER-GENERATED
WORKS AS A MEANS OF SERIOUS ARTISTIC EXPRESSION GAINED GROUND
AMONG THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF LOCAL ARTISTS. TODAY, EVEN
THE MORE ESTABLISHED NAMES IN THE FIELD—ARTISTS AND CRITICS ALIKE
—HAVE COME TO ACCEPT AND RECOGNIZE DIGITAL WORKS AS FINE ART.
• TO VIEW WORKS BY PHILIPPINE ARTISTS EMPLOYING DIGITAL ART
TECHNIQUES, YOU MAY VISIT THE WEBSITES OF THE MORE PROGRESSIVE
MUSEUMS AND ART ORGANIZATIONS. AMONG THESE ARE:
• • THE CENTER FOR ART AND THOUGHT –
HTTP://WWW.CENTERFORARTANDTHOUGHT.ORG/
• • DEVIANT ART –
HTTP://WWW.DEVIANTART.COM/BROWSE/ALL/DIGITALART/
• • THE ATENEO ART GALLERY – HTTP://WWW.ATENEOARTGALLERY.ORG/
• • YUCHENGCO MUSEUM – HTTP://YUCHENGCOMUSEUM.ORG/

28. There are also institutions offering training courses
on the digital arts, such as the
• First Academy of Computer Arts, the Philippine
Center for Creative Imaging (PCCI), as well as
the
• Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) through scholarships given by
the
• Animation Council of the Philippines (ACPI).
Courses such as these open up an array of career
opportunities for young Filipinos in the fields of
advertising, animation design, multimedia
communication, and web development.

29. DIGITAL ART IN THE HANDS OF
EVERYONE
• COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY HAS BY NOW INVADED EVERY ASPECT OF
MODERN LIFE. IT WAS, THEREFORE, INEVITABLE THAT IT WOULD DEVELOP
INTO FORMS AND DEVICES THAT COULD BE MASS PRODUCED, MASS
DISTRIBUTED, AND THEREFORE WIDELY ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.
• IN OTHER WORDS, ANYONE WITH A COMPUTER DEVICE— FROM A
DESKTOP PC TO A LAPTOP, TO A TABLET OR ANDROID PHONE—CAN
NOW CAPTURE AND EDIT IMAGES AND VIDEOS; CREATE, MANIPULATE,
AND SHARE WORKS OF ART; AND EVEN COMPOSE MUSIC. YOU CAN BE
—AND PROBABLY ALREADY ARE—A DIGITAL ARTIST IN YOUR OWN RIGHT.

30. SUMMARY
• COMPUTER/DIGITAL ARTS MAKE USE OF ELECTRONIC AND
MECHANICAL DEVICES, RATHER THAN THE ARTIST’S OWN HAND, TO
PRODUCE THE DESIRED IMAGES AND EFFECTS. YOU CAN USED ANY
SOFTWARE/PROGRAMS TO CREATE YOUR OWN DIGITAL ART.
• THUS, THESE ARE DEFINITELY TECHNOLOGY-BASED ART FORMS. IN
RECENT DECADES, PERSONAL GADGETS SUCH AS LAPTOPS, TABLETS,
AND ANDROID PHONES HAVE INCORPORATED THE ARTISTIC
CAPABILITIES OF THE LARGE-SCALE COMPUTERS. SO IT IS NOW
POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO BE A DIGITAL ARTIST.
