Abstract
Many artists create digital art using tangible interaction technologies, VR, AR, and AI painting technologies. When creating digital art, artists incorporate their emotions into form, colour, and space. Electronic media conveys digital art’s materiality, while the interactive journey maintains an emotional framework. The study examines whether digital art development is an artistic or technological endeavour and how it affects aesthetic advancement or decline. Does the switch from traditional to digital art creation, expression, and materials create a new art aesthetic or change human life? This study uses ontology and emotional interaction to define and interpret digital art more precisely. We analyse the expressive space of digital art creation using digital art materials’ virtual, interactive, non-realistic, mutable, and composite properties. We examine how digitalizing art materials enhances art vision’s expressive forms, techniques, and content. This study examines the social and practical challenges art faces due to the participatory nature of digitisation. Our research shows the importance of digital art in visual creation, its ability to create meaning, and its immersive interactive experience. According to our interviews with 20 attendees of a digital art showcase, interactive digital art forms can improve human engagement and interaction by providing a sense of satisfaction, significance, and interactivity and an emotional understanding of the artist’s creation. Digital art can make the invisible visible, offering a new way to express art.
