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.
"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.
