Art Design in the Information Age

Art Design in the Information Age

With the expansion of computer applications, human life has also become digital, and the art design, which is closely related to human life, has also become part of this trend.

The combination of computer and art design first depends on the development of computer graphics technology. In 1958, the drum plotter introduced by caComp was the world’s first computer graphics output device. The study of computer art has also made progress in Bell Labs. They used the distribution of letters or icons to represent the gray-scale changes in photographs, creating many works.

I. Two directions of computer art design ↑ Go Top
Each kind of art design tool has its uniqueness. Computer's influence on art design is not only reflected in its ability to complete creative work more efficiently, but also brings new styles and languages ​​to art and design, and also to art. The working procedures and methods of design have had a profound effect.

No matter what kind of tools, it needs a mastery process. In order to allow artists and designers to accept this tool, the computer imitates the characteristics of many traditional tools in program design, and it allows people's experience to continue. In the electronic world, you can choose a brush tool of any shape and size, dip in the water and move it into the paint box, and then paint on textured paper. The handwriting not only reflects the color but also reflects the texture of the paper. The lines will change in thickness with the pressure of your hands, and even have a white effect. This is the first development direction of the computer in the art design. Further development has made the computer a creative and active partner, gradually surpassing the passive position of traditional tools; allowing artists to find unique perspectives and performance effects. At the same time, you can also feel the interaction between humans and images that traditional tools cannot bring.

The above development still maintains the human subjectivity, and in another direction of development, the artist gives the computer great freedom, through the process of artistic creation, it incorporates many technologies of artificial intelligence, and the result is even more unexpected. This is true for many fractal images. It uses a simple repetitive calculation. After repeated copying, the resulting image appears self-similar in both its entire and local parts whether it is enlarged or reduced. The obstacle in this direction is that the artist cannot accept the fact that the machine automatically generates images. This indirect form of creation seems to interfere with the basic creed that should be derived from the artist's mind, but it still marks a new development in art. direction.

Second, the new modeling language and work methods ↑ Go Top
Because we use a computer, we hope that our work will show the characteristics of a new tool, or that it is a "computer language." Reflecting the characteristics of a tool is not what we want. The important thing is that it can express our inner and The feelings of the times.

When the display is displaying images, the horizontal and vertical lines are very good, and for the curves and diagonal lines, there are jagged lines, mainly because there is not enough computing power to eliminate jaggies. However, this phenomenon has been accepted by people, and it is thought that this is the feeling of computer images, and even created an exaggerated, step-like font to express computerized features.

The zigzag image has become history. Today, all the curves can be processed smoothly and smoothly. The computer has been perfect in many aspects of art design. In addition to processing traditional objects, any image that can be digitized and input into the computer, Sound, text, video, etc. can all become elements of computer processing. From this it can be seen that the composition language of art design is more and more abundant. The system's comprehensive capabilities of the computer also combine many discrete tasks, and the designer's ability to control the design process is enhanced. For example, in the field of desktop publishing, the processing functions of logos, fonts, illustrations, and layouts can all exist in one system. Many technologies in image processing can not only see the results on the screen, but can also be debugged repeatedly. The designer can maintain his creative consistency in the computer until he finally achieves a satisfactory result.

Third, exchange and interface ↑ Go Top
At first, the computer liberated people from many complex and repetitive tasks. Now its application in art design not only provides people with a new medium for understanding and expressing the world, but also creates a new type of communication. the way.

While the Internet has connected the world, it has also expanded the space for artistic design and led to a wider digitalization of artistic design. Information disseminated at the speed of light can bring art and design work to all parts of the world. People can either publish their own creations on the Internet, or convert existing works of art into digital images on the Internet, allow people from all over the world to browse, exchange ideas with others, or order Your favorite work. Computers have shortened the distance between us and works of art. No matter whether it is the Louvre Museum or the British Museum, there are no longer any geographical obstacles. Visiting the collections is much faster than the local gallery.
