Digital technology has revolutionized the way we
produce and experience art today. Not only have
traditional forms of art such as printing, painting,
photography, and sculpture been transformed by
digital techniques and media, but entirely new forms
such as net art, software art, digital installation, and
virtual reality have emerged as recognized artistic
practices, collected by major museums, institutions,
and private collectors the world over.
