Edge of Art – Chapter 1 – Code as Muse

When you hear the word art, what do you ponder about? Perhaps an original Da Vinci hanging on the wall or the project you were forced to create last semester. The technological age is here, and it is coming fast, ready or not. Computerized art has made a bit hit in the last couple of decades, whether it was intended to be art or not. Every pixel counts, every color counts, every line of code you type is a work of art. Generating something unbelievable to the normal eye with just a few clicks is beyond my comprehension.  The new age art has many new advances compared to the basic for of art where you are restricted to your canvas. On a computer you can use the program Paint, Photoshop, use binary code, generate art, you can use code to make art, and the list goes on. There are no boundaries. There are no rules. You can create your own medium even and still have it be considered art.
