( 3 / 85 )I once wanted to participate in the Toronto Art Expo. I prepared the application, provided examples of my work and began to wait for the results. Soon the answer arrived. My claim was rejected without explanation. I thought that my work may not be pleasing to the organizers, but in any case, decided to contact the organizers and request an explanation. The answer discouraged me, it occurs my works were rejected not because of their artistic deficiencies, but because they were DIGITAL. I did ask, "what difference do the technical methods make when an artist creates a picture, is not the final result more important?" The answer was even more strange - “We do not want traditional artists to be offended by the proximity to digital pictures".
Cool! There is a skill obtained in traditional art made by hands (or by other body parts) and there is a skill of the second type, which is not completely a skill, made with the aid of the computer. Proximity to such works is offensive for the real artist.
It is implied that the computer “itself” sketches the picture, and man presses the buttons. And this opinion is very wide spread. I do not know if it is worthwhile to explain that the computer itself generally cannot make anything. It is simply a piece of iron and wires. Everything you see on it's screen is made by PEOPLE. But the further people are from the technology, the more they are convinced that the computer is a thinking machine which works by itself. The only thing it needs is to have the necessary button pushed. The question of who made this button it does not arise. Therefore, if the artist holds in his hand not a pencil but an electronic pen and he draws not on paper but the screen of a computer, then does he no longer art? Or is the work instead initiated and completed by the computer? Is art created by the computer? To me it does not seem worthwhile to comment on the absurdity of this assertion.
Thus, we observe the explicit discrimination of artists using digital technologies by art critics and curators of exhibitions. Moreover, this discrimination is based exclusively on the technique. The quality of the works themselves do not enter into the calculation.

Dynamic Paintings can provide a form of visual stimulation that evokes changes in physiological activity to improve health and performance. Dynamic Paintings are composed of lively and colorful abstract, surreal and psychedelic digital images in a state of perpetual transformation. The overall idea of the visual remains unchanged, while the computer introduces infinite variations. Dynamic Paintings are a great outlet for relaxation, meditation and spiritual awareness and stimulate a variety of emotional and mental states that can help alleviate anxiety and treat stress. When used in tandem with biofeedback therapies Dynamic Paintings can be used to train patients to control certain internal bodily processes such as heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, and skin temperature.”Dynamic Paintings are available in DVD and work with all biofeedback software solutions with DVD functionality. San Base Studio is working with developers to drive individual elements of the dynamic painting (sky, structures, foreground, sound, etc.) from an assigned physiological “channel. Watch for our future content.

( 3 / 117 )Since the dawn of visual art creation, paintings were static. After all they embody someone’s ideas and imagination using canvas and paints or any other similar tools. You might ask, what else could there be? The development of computer technologies allows us to shift that paradigm. Using the computer screen as a canvas one could breathe a life into previously static paintings by introducing motion. One of the examples of this approach is 3D computer games. Often the quality of the images in modern games can compare well with many works of painter-realists. Another example is dynamic images generated by various screen-savers. Could this be considered an art? After all, even Jackson Pollock paintings seem to be a bit off in the framework of the classical visual art. Yes, all of these new developments might seem strange and rather unconventional; however technological progress allows us to bring to life what appeared unattainable just yesterday.
I’d like to highlight another example of a new art trend: the dynamic painting. Unlike 3D images created by many computer artists, my paintings are composed of abstract images in the state of perpetual never repeating transformation. The overall idea of the painting remains unchanged, while the computer introduces continuous variations, resembling an artist at work. The colors and shapes go through the changes and the image slowly flows and transforms. The traditional painting has acquired the dimension of time. This creates an extraordinary show since at any moment in time the painting is different, and catching even a glimpse of it, one becomes completely engrossed in the experience.
Because a computer produces the images of a dynamic painting, one might question the artist’s involvement in the process. So who in the end creates the painting an artist or a computer?
Of course an artist creates the painting. A computer can’t create anything at its will and it doesn’t embody any creativity. It’s just a tool that works according to a predefined algorithm. The dynamic painting could have many varying parameters that the computer can change to create new instances of a painting, however it can’t create anything on its own.
Looking at a dynamic painting might create the perception that you see purely the fruits of a computer’s imagination. The endless variations of colors and shapes make it hard to believe that a person has devised such a complex scheme. Some of the paintings are so good they are worthy to be printed on a canvas and to be displayed in the best galleries throughout the world. On the other hand, it is the unpredictability and dynamics that make dynamic painting so attractive. A unique image teases your imagination and in a few moments it fades only to give a way to other astonishing picture. One can always expect something new and unusual from a dynamic painting.
I think art critics will be arguing about the art status of the dynamic paintings for the years to come. On the other hand, what difference does it make how you label it? The dynamic paintings are beautiful and fascinating. This direction is new and eccentric. Progress can’t be halted and something that looks like an exotic creation will soon become a common element of an interior design.
