This is Digital! Chances are you’re reading this on a digital screen made up of hundreds and hundreds of pixels. They are so small but yet they are mighty!
We live in a digital world and advances in technology have created countless possibilities for creating art and making it more accessible. Museums, galleries and even prehistoric caves have digitised their collections so that you can view art from the comfort of your home. Artists have experimented with new technologies like 3D printing to create new work as well as recreate old ones - including an exact replica of Michelangelo’s sculptural masterpiece, David.
Photographers use digital cameras and digital editing to transform their work. Hannah Starkey’s photography focuses on women in scenes from everyday life which she has actually carefully constructed by finding exact locations and working with friends, models and people she casts in the street. Hannah continues to compose her works after she has taken her image by digitally manipulating her photographs.
