PHILOSOPHY OF DIGITAL ART: SYNERGY OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
The goal is to study the philosophical and anthropological dimension of computerization and digitalization of humanity and their influence on modern art. Research methods — historical and philosophical, philosophy of art, analytical method, synergetics. Scientific novelty. An examination of the evolution of digital art growing out of technology - from digital photography and computer graphics to the use of artificial intelligence in the creation of new artistic images. The former reproducibility of the technical image is complemented by a new understanding of creativity and innovation in digital art, where the problem of authorship and co-authorship is exacerbated as much as possible. A new synergy of art and technology is proposed, which requires philosophical reflection. Conclusions. The revolution of convergence of technologies (Converging Technology) or the revolution of NBIC (NBIC) as a combination of nano-, biotechnologies and cyber-information technologies is a new stage of scientific and technical progress, it has a strong influence on modern culture and art. The synergy of art and technology is revealed in the fact that even a new way of technological representation of the image provides a new unseen aesthetic, the emergent nature of this image is simulative and repetitive, and at the same time innovative. Thus, art created by artificial intelligence can create new unique combinations, in fact it can vary endlessly. Art allows us to articulate and present unexplored ideas, concepts, and phenomena, contributing to debate, changes in aesthetic ideals and social progress. The ability of digital art to transform physical or bodily modes of perception is important, providing new anthropological opportunities for artistic expression and public understanding. In addition, contemporary art has an important aesthetic and ethical impact on sociocultural transformation in the context of contemporary social changes.
