The temporal nature of digital art and the bonding of the past and present

Through words, sounds, images and interactivity, a digital artwork draws an observer in through manners much differing to that of a traditional artwork. A digital work will often deal with the here and now, temporal themes that in turn tend to relate directly to the art form itself and its medium. It is in this manner that the technology used (eg: computers, The Internet etc), often forms the core theme(s) behind a digital piece.

The gap between Technology and Art is becoming blurred; the key artistic themes of the past (eg: Religion, Literature, History) are becoming warped in the new age of The Internet. How does one perceive these themes today through a digital means? How have our perceptions, values and ideals changed? How can a digital artwork explore these themes in a fresh and engaging way to help further develop our understanding of these ideas and in what new direction are they taking us?

Lost in Script

Seed's Scene from Lost in Script

http://www.lostinscript.com/experi.htm


Lost in Script is a small collection of experimental flash works by Karthik Ck, involving interaction with organic like objects. The works provide a good correlation between nature and technology and also plays with light and space. One example of this has virtual grass like objects moving with the user’s mouse movements, creating an effect similar to grass moving with the wind.

I chose this piece because it is a simple yet effective example of interactive art
