Digital art is a general term for a range of artistic works and practices that use digital technology as an essential part of the creative and/or presentation process. Since the 1970s, various names have been used to describe the process including computer art and multimedia art, and digital art is itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art. The impact of digital technology has transformed activities such as painting, drawing and sculpture, while new forms, such as net art, digital installation art, and virtual reality, have become recognized artistic practices. More generally the term digital artist is used to describe an artist who makes use of digital technologies in the production of art. In an expanded sense, "digital art" is a term applied to contemporary art that uses the methods of mass production or digital media.
After searching and looking at many digital media artists. I decide that in this Project I choose two Digital Multimedia Artists that I am interesting at. Artists that I choose are Dev Harlan and Alan Ganev. These two artists have an amazing artwork. Dev Harlan artwork is brilliantly amazing and mind blowing. I love his Pyramid series projection mapping artwork. It’s beautiful and calm, yet it’s simple and colorful. Projection Mapping is A new form of urban art is popping up in cities throughout the world. Urban Projection Mapping, as it is loosely known, is the art of creating video displays that make buildings come alive in light, color and motion. Armed with powerful technology, a handful of enterprising video artists create vivid, visually arresting video displays that are projected on urban architecture.
Installation art is describes an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called Land art; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap. Installation art can be either temporary or permanent. Installation artworks have been constructed in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as public and private spaces. The genre incorporates a broad range of everyday and natural materials, which are often chosen for their "evocative" qualities, as well asnew media such as video, sound, performance, immersive virtual reality and the internet.
Alan Ganev also a great artist. His artworks are beautiful and meaningful. He mostly works in collage, installations and silk screen art. His artworks that I am interested in are silk screen and collage. Silk screen art also known as screen printing. Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas.
Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. A collage (From the French: coller, to glue, French pronunciation: [kɔ.laːʒ]) is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from anassemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
A collage may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.
The term collage derives from the French "colle" meaning "glue". This term was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art. Alan doing his collage art using computer application.
Dev Harlan
Dev Harlan is a multidisciplinary artist whose hybrid practice combines the physical and the virtual with the use of sculpture, light and projection. As a self educated Artist, Designer and CG Director, Dev's uniquely identifiable aesthetic language and reductionist approach place his work at the forefront of a new mode of media arts practice.
Works have recently been shown at Scope NY Cinema Series, Optronica Festival, One Dot Zero Festival, Whitebox Gallery, Christopher Henry Gallery, Scope Miami Art Fair, and the Vimeo Festival's “VimeoWorld.”
Dev is a native Californian and currently lives and works in New York and has been featured at a number of galleries there and in Miami. One of his latest works is the Parmenides I, that showed at the Christopher Henry Gallery in NY as a part of a solo exhibition entitled “The Astral Flight Hangar.” The Parmenides I is a large geometric sculpture that is brought to life by light.
Most of Dev’s work are colorful and has a shape of triangle and tetrahedron sculpture. Mind blowing artwork of Dev is because of the projection mapping that so beautiful and calm. Dev also make collabs with other artist. One of my favorites is the collaboration with Olek the installation artist. Olek and Dev made an awesome artwork. Here are some pictures of their collaboration artwork.
Alan Ganev
Born in 1986 in San Jose, Costa Rica, collage artist Alan Ganev has been calling Montreal home for several years. Alan Ganev is a graphic designer, musician, artist, street artist and event organizer. His various collaborations take him from gallery to museum, and he is the co-founder of CEASE, a non-profit organization in Montreal that diffuses art through events & initiatives. Alan starting making artwork since 18, he’s working on collage at that time, making an artwork from source that he get at deviantart website at that time. His approach to collage is quite exact and meticulous. The images are cut very delicately and the position and alignment of the elements in the composition is of great importance to him.
He usually intends to create rich compositions with no more than three images and a couple geometrical shapes. When asked about his inspiration, Alan inspiration is people around him.
He tries to surround himself with passionate and driven individuals that want to do something great for themselves. They motivate him with their achievements. Most of Alan work not just collage. He also loves installation art.
