Art, just like all forms of expression, has been evolving. From the rough and rudimentary stone age depictions on cave walls to the modern programmable crypto-art in virtual reality, humanity is busy representing and expressing its innermost desires for the world to consume. It is with this backdrop that we have to beg the question: what is contemporary art? Does artistic expression have to go through peer and critical review in an art gallery for it to have an impact on art space? Websites such as Dimoda.art or rarible.com have risen to serve art to and from the digital lands. How far and how deep can the digital art space impact traditional art? Can digital art give new life to primordial art via augmentation? Will crypto deliver on its promise of freedom to the creative masses?
We live in exciting times, with exciting questions to explore and develop. Welcome to the world of Contemporary Digital art.
