Indeed, this is the first time for Iloilo City to have an art exhibit projected on a wide screen. Digital or new media art presentation, however, is not new in the art sector.
Art scholars have categorized digital art as either object-oriented artworks or process-oriented visuals.
In object-oriented artworks, “digital technologies are a means to an end,” explained Marie Chatel in ‘What is Digital Art? Definition and Scope of the New Media’ “and function as a tool for the creation of traditional objects like paintings, photographs, prints, and sculptures.”
Process-oriented visuals, on the other hand, said Chatel is that “technology is the end itself, and artists explore the possibilities entailed to the very essence of this new medium. This category — often associated with the term “new media” — refers to all computable art that is digitally created, stored and distributed. In other words, while some works rely on digital tools to magnify an already-existing medium, others use digital technology as an intrinsic and indissociable component in the making of the artifact.”
