WHAT IS DIGITAL MEDIA?
 |
| digital media has came a long way |
Digital media is something that has majorly changed the way modern society works, using computer programs and software; (digital video, web pages and websites) to store, create and manipulate other forms of art/digital media.
Digital media often clashes with print media; books, newspapers and magazines.
Also traditional media, such as film or audio tape, which is something that although is still widley used as a popular subject matter for art, it is in compitition with things such as mp3s and downloadable material.

Digital Media's rapid popularity,(usually helped with the Internet) has helped to push the success of publishing, journalism, entertainment, education and politics.

HOW IS IT USED TODAY?

Since the invention of the first digital computers, computing power and storage capacity have increased dramatically.
Personal computers and smartphones put the ability to access, change and share digital media in the hands of billions of people around the world today.
Many electronic devices such as digital cameras, iPhones and gaming devices have the ability to create, transmit and view digital media. Creations such as facebook and youtube etc, have lead to a straggering increase in these digital devices being used more and more.
Combined with the internet, digital media has changed 21st century society in a way that is often compared to the cultural, economic and social impact of the printing press.

Artists today have an extremely wide range of various tools and digital applications to choose from when creating/designing their work;
ANIMATION
Animations can be done on either analogue media, such as a flip book, motion picture film, video tape, or on digital media; such as animated GIF, Flash animation or digital video.
To display it, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used.

FILM
The process of film making is both an art and a money making industry. Films were first recorded onto plastic film which was shown through a movie projector onto a large screen;
more modern techniques use digitally recorded film which can be used in everyday families (buying a handheld camera)
FINE ART
Fine art, from the 17th century on, has been a popular and fantastic way of expression, creating works of art that can either represent real life or abstract.
Generally, the 5 main fine arts art painting, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry, with performing arts including theatre and dance.
Today, the fine arts can include additional forms, such as film, photography, conceptual art, and printmaking.
Performance art
Performance art is by far the most intrusive and expressive form of art (in my opinion)

| The Artist is Present |
"From March 14 to May 31, 2010, the Museum of Modern Art held a major retrospective and performance recreation of Marina Abramović's work, the biggest exhibition of performance art in MoMA's history. During the run of the exhibition, Abramović performed "The Artist is Present," a 736-hour and 30-minute static, silent piece, in which she sat immobile in the museum's atrium, while spectators were invited to take turns sitting opposite her. The performance attracted celebrities such as Björk and James Franco."
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is the art of creating and developing images that can be seen, manipulated and used to express.
Modern technology has allowed photography to become something much faster than it ever has been; digital cameras, and camera phones have gave us the ability to have instant access to the photograph (which in my opinion is something that I really dislike)

| Kodak No.2 Brownie box camera |
The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1889.
His first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was a very simple box camera with a fixed-focus lens and single shutter speed.
The Kodak came pre-loaded with enough film for 100 exposures and needed to be sent back to the factory for processing and reloading when the roll was finished.
