David Hockney is one of British well-known artists that I have found very inspirational with one of my finals (collage). I really like his photo collage art works, (called ‘joiners’), which are a series of individual photographed details that create a complete image. Hockney’s photographic collage examines the relationship between image/reality and space/perspective. “I’m interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything,” said Hockney. “All of them are artifice—technology alters the way you make pictures.”

I found some awesome images from the internet that have been created using Photoshop. I really like the way they all have some sort of 'supernatural' look to them, through the manipulations of colour, movement and scale.

A Brainstorm of different and innovating ways to present Digital Art:

-  Take a photo of your artwork and display it on Facebook

- Share it to all of the viewers, by e-mailing or sending your art work via phone

- Getting it professionally printed off on a canvas or on a large scaled board

- Printing your Digital Art work and creating a folio, in a form of a book 

- Printing the Digital Art work onto fabric or a piece of clothing that you can wear and show to the viewers

- Projecting the art work directly on the viewers, take a photo of that and then show them, through the computer.

 Below are a few innovative ways to present Digital Art:

I was very intrigued in how Digital Artists make use of the Projector.  There are so many various ways that you could present your work using a projector:

- Using a series of different sized projectors, collaborate

- Using a creative surface to project our work on. For example, using your own body, tree, cabinets      (depending on the overall theme of your artworks), etc.

A Brainstorm of different and innovating ways to present Digital Art:

"No where else does the architecture of an entire community become a canvas for digital art,” said Florida’s Governor Charlie Crist. “Digital Graffiti embodies the innovation and originality that Florida prides itself on supporting." Digital Graffiti is the world’s first outdoor projection art festival, with artists using the latest technologies to project original video art onto the town’s iconic white walls and rooftops."
