Thesis Overview

The project titled "Exploring the Intersection of Digital Technology and Traditional Art Practices in Contemporary Art Creation" aims to investigate how the fusion of digital technology and traditional art practices has transformed the landscape of contemporary art creation. This research seeks to delve into the evolving relationship between digital tools and traditional artistic techniques, exploring the ways in which artists are leveraging technology to push the boundaries of artistic expression. Through an interdisciplinary approach that merges insights from fine arts and digital technology, this study will examine the impact of digital tools such as graphic design software, virtual reality, 3D printing, and digital photography on traditional art forms like painting, sculpture, and printmaking. By analyzing case studies and engaging with artists who are at the forefront of this intersection, the research will shed light on the innovative ways in which technology is shaping the creative process and influencing artistic outcomes. Key areas of focus will include how digital technology enables artists to experiment with new mediums, techniques, and modes of presentation, as well as how it challenges established notions of authorship, originality, and authenticity in art. The project will also explore the implications of this intersection on the art market, audience engagement, and the overall cultural significance of contemporary art. By uncovering the synergies and tensions between digital technology and traditional art practices, this research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamic relationship between art and technology in the 21st century. Ultimately, the findings of this study will enrich scholarly discourse on the evolving nature of artistic practice and offer insights into the future direction of contemporary art creation in the digital age.
