The impact of digital technologies on the plastic arts

Abstract

From the momentum of scattered artistic currents and conflicting cultural ideologies, a new artistic style emerges that heralds a creative and visual revolution that establishes a diverse artistic present to build a renewed cultural future. It is the digital revolution that swept our reality and tampered with the details of our lives, so many of us became hostages to the magic of the digital and the power of the digital. The computer intervened in the simplest details of our daily lives and the laser discs tampered with our papers and records to turn them into digital information and the Internet hybridized our social lives to the extent that the living reality overlapped with the virtual reality in a mixture Unique and innovative. Today, no one can deny the important role of digital media and modern software in our daily reality. Digital technologies and specialized media programs have given our current reality an immediate character and given our needs an immediate color to the extent that it has become impossible to dispense with them. The pioneering role of digital technology in the field of visual arts is the contemporary plastic arts that embrace novelty and call for wit. Plastic art is classified among the most important artistic fields that keep pace with reality and meet the demands of the times. This type of art is based on the faculty of creation and alignment with every new and contemporary creative situation. Creativity can only be carried out by continuous renewal and keeping pace with the requirements of the times and the concerns of contemporary. Since the emergence of the first signs of digital technology, many plastic artists hastened to keep pace with this scientific trend, cleverly exploiting the unlimited and endless possibilities of artificial intelligence enjoyed by the computer, and employed these extraordinary digital capabilities in the service of their artistic creations from photographs, digital drawings, and even actual and virtual sculptures. Thus, they established a new artistic culture in keeping with the requirements of the present, based on technological media and based on the digital image.
