Modern art movements and digital influence

Modern art movements have often been at the forefront of cultural and technological changes.

In what ways have contemporary digital technologies influenced or inspired new art movements? What is the symbiotic relationship between modern art and digital innovation?

I always think less is more. Like the guy who put banana on the wall haha

So yeah, I think digital art should be more easy and simple

I might prefer to use the term contemporary art in this context, but I once worked as a history of art professor and I was truly amazed by the textbook by Radovan Ivančević, which in such a brilliant, yet simple way, drew correlations between the art of a certain period and the social structures, discoveries in science, mechanics, and other forms of art of that era. I found the interpretation of architecture during the Baroque period exceptionally interesting. The Baroque was a period of numerous achievements in physics, mathematics..

So Ivancevic referred to Newton's Third Law of Motion, which is a fundamental principle in classical physics. This law states: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In simpler terms, whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force that is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction on the first object. This means if object A pushes on object B, object B pushes back on object A with the same amount of force.

And now, if you were to explain to someone who has never seen Baroque architecture in their life, in this way, what Baroque architecture looks like, I am sure they would have a pretty accurate idea.

When we look at the relationship between contemporary art and digital innovations... it's inevitable to conclude that they are inseparably connected. And not just connected, but I would say they create and encourage mutual development.

... and it would be interesting to hear the opinions of fellow artists on how the development of technology has influenced the development of their work, and whether they started their visual explorations immediately in digital media, or if the transfer from physical to digital happened gradually, or if they are still creating and exploring in both media, combining them.

What do you think about the "Zima Blue" episode from the series "Love, Death & Robots" that provides a fascinating insight into minimalism, not only as an artistic movement but also as a philosophy of life? Through the story of Zima Blue, an artist who returns to his most basic elements, this episode explores the idea that true understanding and satisfaction can come from simplicity.

In a way, my answer could sound as.... Zima Blue begins his career with complex, grandiose works, but gradually shifts to simpler and simpler creations, eventually producing an ultimate work that is essentially completely minimalist. This journey towards minimalism reflects his inner search for meaning and identity, as well as the understanding that true beauty is often hidden in the simplest forms.

The episode presents minimalism not just as an aesthetic choice but as a means to achieve deeper insight and inner peace. It shows how by moving away from the external world and focusing on the essence, one can discover fundamental truths about oneself and the world around us.

In the context of broader culture and society, "Zima Blue" can provoke thoughts about the value and impact of consumerism and how a simpler life can provide greater happiness and satisfaction. It serves as a reminder that in a world overloaded with information and material goods, a return to simplicity can be a revolutionary act.

And on the other hand, I prefer an answer... ''It's pure ZEN''

That's an interesting perspective! The simplicity of the banana on the wall piece definitely sparked a lot of conversation and debate within the art world. It's fascinating how something so seemingly straightforward can provoke such complex reactions. In terms of digital art, simplicity can certainly have its own allure and effectiveness. Do you believe there's a specific balance between simplicity and complexity that digital artists should aim for, or do you think it varies depending on the artist's intention?

What do you think draws people to simpler forms of digital art? Is it the accessibility, the clarity of message, or something else entirely?
