Digital art refers to any artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. It can also refer to computational art that uses and engages with digital media.[1] Since the 1960s, various names have been used to describe digital art, including computer art, electronic art, multimedia art,[2] and new media art.[3][4]
Subcategories for the art include digital painting, where artists use software to emulate techniques using in physical painting, digital illustration, which involves creating rendered images for other media, and 3D modeling, where artists craft three-dimensional objects and scenes. Pieces of digital art range from captured in unique displays and restricted from duplication to popular memes available for reproduction in commercial products.
Repositories for digital art include pieces stored on physical media, galleries on display on websites, and collections for download for free or purchase.
