The growth of art in today’s world has been made possible through added Technology in the creation and presentation of art pieces. Art has, therefore, created a new dimension of creativity and innovated ideas that were inconceivable before.

Avant-garde is one of the areas where these aspects can be observed easily; digital art is one of the most vivid examples of such interaction. Digital art-made programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Core Painter, and Procreate allow continuous transformation and merging of painting pic, turns ill, frustration, and even photography. Some internet sources, such as social networks, enable artists to have contact with the audience globally and have an opportunity to show their productions on the Internet.

One of the most significant breakthroughs is the implementation of artificial intelligence in art; an AI program can recognize millions of paintings and sculptures to understand the patterns and trends in painting and sculpting art pieces. As we have seen in Deep Dream and automated painting, the concept of the artist and creativity is still being determined. In the same way, an artist can benefit from AI by using samples, compositions, color schemes, or even specific pieces that could be made following certain guidelines.

With emerging trends such as VR and AR, new media technologies have once again advanced the possibilities of art; VR immerses audiences in various worlds where one can interact with art differently. These artists can create pieces and experiences that are olfactory, multisensory, and interactive and do things that are hard to do with real space. AR overlays augmentations on top of the natural world, making visits and expos in museums, galleries, and public areas more interesting, informative, and engaging.

It has also impacted conventional art, since it has introduced changes to traditional practices that were discerned in society. For example, music creation tools like Dawn and synthesizers have now replaced the classic music-making methods in music production. Thus, fantastic stories take place with the assistance of new CGI and motion capture technologies in film and animation.

Moreover, due to the use of the distributed ledger and based on it, non-fungible tokens are being used as a new approach to digital art as exclusive and easily recognizable products. This has, in turn, created new avenues of income for artists and given rise to new customers purchasing digital art.

Last but not least, the question regarding the correlation between Technology and art is delicate and sensitive, which is why it is constantly evolving. It challenges how art is observed and what is achievable in art; it alters the prospects of artworks in the art industry. Technology in art is vast and continues to advance, meaning there is a bright future for artists and those who will experience their works.
