Digital Art

Her book " Digital Art" influenced the international discussion on New Media and Digital Art. An assumption of the author is that one can distinguish between merely computer-generated art and media -oriented digital art. While computer-generated art, the known art forms digitally continues medially oriented digital art developed the new possibilities of digital media to new art movements.

That digital continuations, for example, provide painting or photo art as a digital painting or an artistic photo manipulation, artistically valuable results, the author does not deny. The possibilities of digital new media are, however, only exhausted when artists use it as a stand-alone media. New art movements such as net art, Web Art and Software Art (see Digital Art ) are as mere continuations vordigitaler art movements not to conceive.
