My love for digital medium

In my lifetime I have watched technology advance so much, computers, internet, cellphones etc. What these innovations have done for us in terms of creative power is immeasurable, I mean take a look at all that we basically take for granted on a daily basis.  We can communicate with anyone in the entire world in seconds and share anything we create. 

What normally took months to create now can be done in days or even hours depending on the complexity. This means even people who are working a full-time job like myself can excel at a creative endeavor. Digital innovations have improved music, art, movies, and literature as well as our own quality of life.

So much that I create in digital art could not be possible for me if I was alive half a century ago. There are infinite possibilities with all mediums but digital has made so much possible for me personally that it is my steadfast choice. The notion that easier is somehow cheating is a sophistry of the self-righteous, all who are willing should be able to create.

Digital is a living medium always improving with the latest advents of technology. I just recently saw a demo of a 3D paint program used in a VR environment and was blown away by this innovation due to the complexity of current 3D rendering software. I can't wait to see what lies beyond the horizon for digital art, it's so exciting.... excelsior!

  1. All i got today about all that tech is that is needs to be used and used a lot. For creative expression mind you. How wonderful to have all these tools at our disposal! Who wants to carve the next great story into a rock anyways?

  2. Absolutely, what good is all the tools in the world if we don't use them to the potential.

  3. Some of these these tools are amazing. They might require a bit of understanding to use, but they can be used to create great art in little time. Technology is all about making our lives easier and better.

  4. Totally true on every point! As a writer, I can edit with ease because my manuscripts are electronic documents. I am a music maker because a computer program allows me to compose without extraneous theory and instruments. People all around the world read, see and hear my work... because of technology.

    1. Your music is a prime example of how technology has made it easier to create, you had the vision but without the tools it would never come to fruition. Also I'd like to say your music is outstanding!
