Digital Revolution in Art


This is a work by a digital artist Aaron Koblin who used light as a source of art in the public realm. As a train travels along the track, the laser from the train would shine light in different ways that created patterns, words, and more. I found this work to be a unique example of digital revolution in art because usually materials like lasers are shone against walls or indoor objects, but he made it to be more dynamic and applicable to the public space.

I suggest reading this piece from the Smithsonian Magazine if you want to dive deeper into the discussion: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/7-ways-technology-is-changing-how-art-is-made-180952472/
