The Future Of Art
Movement... By
Tim Siahatgar
Welcome to the 21st Century,
where technology flourishes and change over the centuries has
accelerated. There was a time when mankind had to travel long
distances, by foot or by horse, to communicate with faraway villages.
It could take months to receive a reply to a message. In this
atmosphere, the pace of everyday life reached a near standstill;
man had to draw paintings in order to capture the essence of
a moment or to tell a story. This process could take months,
and sometimes years, to complete.
We are living in the
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ERA. No longer, are months and years needed
for the completion of a work of art. We can now turn on the computer
and, in a matter of hours, look upon a personally created masterpiece.
Also thanks to modern technology like credit cards and Paypal, we can purchase
our own piece of digital art in a matter of minutes.
"Digital art is
here, and it's changing the future of the photo and art industries,"says
Siahatgar. "In the last few years, digital imaging has changed
and merged the largest manufacturers, photo labs, art publishers,
studios and frame art galleries, and it has inspired hundreds
- if not thousands- of new digital artists. This will be the
new way of looking at art, as we are in the 21st century."
CRA PRODUCTIONS believes
that, finally, art and photo productions are merging together
and creating the new media "DIGITOGRAF™ ART."
Now, most traditional painters are using photography and projection
as the base for painting, instead of drawing, and are hiding
this fact .
Photographers are creating
studio backgrounds and atmosphere, and are using artificial textures
in an effort to bring their works closer to traditional paintings.
Using the new tools of the digital era, the differences between
a traditional painter and digital artist have become minimized.
Either could create Canvas Digitograf™ art with a Digitograf™
Studio.
Not only is digital photo
art changing the landscape of art creation, it is broadening
the industry in scope. Services that were once the exclusive
domain of photo labs and printing companies are now being provided
for by modern digital businesses. Customers can send films or
original documents to any of the participating Digitograf™
Studios, then have the images scanned, manipulated and ultimately
produced as works of photo art on fine art canvas. Each Digitograf™
Studio Workstation has power and control over the entire creative
process, from initial image acquisition to final output.
