Abstract

The connection of art with science and technology is a constant and inevitable phenomenon that is connected with the character and the very existence of organized societies, with the default interactions of people and their achievements and of course has to do with the need of artists to express themselves as fully as possible and with innovative actions. The image, whether static or moving, is subject to influences, sometimes catalytic, so that the artistic data constantly change. Contemporary art is developing fast in this field today, as it is influenced by digital technology and new media as an additional indication of postmodern perception. Suddenly, the image became more complex, the movement was combined with the statics of some of its elements, such as constructions and installations, virtuality became the main part of expression, combining space and time, characteristics of cyberspace, and enriching the senses with new experiences. Digital art quickly became interactive, multifaceted, animated, participatory and multisensory, embracing through its digital nature, the mediums of video, photography, sculpture, as well as other types and categories of artistic expression, often assisted by music, cinema and speech. Greek artists from the 1980s onwards moved into this artistic landscape, with pioneering Greek artists living abroad and first coming into contact with the Art of the New Media. Entering the 21st century, this kind of art is constantly gaining ground as one of the main cognitive subjects of schools of fine arts and art workshops. On the other hand, the international shift to digitalism, gives the Art of New Media a cross-cultural aura and a greater proximity to globalization, which makes the interpretation of Digital Art multidimensional. The present study seeks to penetrate the aspects of Digital Art in Greece, from its first steps until today, to the pioneering artists who introduced it in Greece, the successors-representatives at the dawn of the 21st century, the art workshops that produce the Art of New Media and finally exhibitions-highlights, and events that have institutionalized Digital Art in the Greek art scene.
