Response to Conceptual Art Readings

Digital art has historical roots in visual art and shares many characteristics with the Dada, Fluxus, and Conceptual Art movements. Digital art places an emphasis on controlled randomness, open structure, appropriation, manipulation of found images, interaction and re-contextualization. Other characteristics that could be considered shared between conceptual art and digital art are the use of formal or informal instructions, priority given to the concept of the work, event and audience participation and juxtaposition of components that blur traditional art making practices.
