過程：
利用數字技術來創造的藝術形式的整個過程也可以稱為數字藝術。例如，由計算機來渲
染的動畫片，數字音樂還有計算機設計的雕塑品等。雖然這些作品會在傳統媒介中播放
演繹（如電影，錄音帶，大理石雕刻），但是這些作品很容易由數字技術來運用的。
另一個例子就是：一幅由訪問者設計的在網頁上播放的畫，或是通過e-mail來交流的信
息，由街機游戲中發出的音樂。這些依舊是離開了數字技術無法實現的數字藝術作品。
我們感興趣的是數字技術是如何來改變藝術品的。這種改變不是受到傳統藝術的沖擊就
是接受新的融合將是細致而又深遠的。

事物本身：
最后，那些討論數字技術本身也可以成為數字藝術。一幅畫畫著一個女子在使用ATM機器
的，一首歌唱關于聊天室都可以被認為是數字藝術。數字技術不應該斷章取義而是乃至
于討論其意圖。我們對于通過作品本身表達什么更感興趣，來說些什么關于數碼技術的
事和它對于世界的重大影響力。

About Digital Art
AMODA defines digital art as art that uses digital technology in any of
three ways: as the product, as the process, or as the subject. These are
further described below.
This description is not intended to exclude but to encompass as much as is
reasonable. We seek to expand the public's definition of digital art (and
our own) in order to appreciate the truly vast and far-reaching impact of
digital technology on art, on the world, and on ourselves.
roduct
Art whose final form is digital in nature is digital art. These are works
that are viewed on a computer, such as software or web sites. This also
includes works that use nonstandard hardware, such as electronics and
robotics. The hardware need not be functional: a sculpture made of
integrated circuit boards could be considered digital art.
We feel that the expressive capabilities of this new medium have only been
touched upon, and so we are interested in seeing how artists express
themselves through it.
Process
Art that was created using digital technology in the process of its
creation would also be digital art. Obvious examples include
computer-generated animation, synthesized music, and computer-designed
sculpture. While these works might be presented in traditional media (e.g.
film, audio tape and marble), their production was facilitated by the use
of digital technology.
Less obvious examples include: a painting designed by visitors to a web
page; a play which reenacts an e-mail exchange; or music that samples
sounds from an arcade game. These are still works which could not exist
without digital technology to aid their production.
We are interested in how digital technology is altering the production of
art. This alteration can be subtle or profound, either by impacting
traditional production or allowing novel approaches.
Subject
Finally, art that addresses or discusses digital technology is also digital
art. A painting depicting a woman using an ATM machine, a bust of Alan
Turing, and song about chat rooms could all be considered digital art.
Digital technology need not be the focus of the piece, or even mentioned
intentionally. We are interested in works that, through their subject, say
something about digital technology and its impact on the world.
