Digital Art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as an essential part of the creative process. This includes the use of computers, mobile phones or portable handheld devices in conjunction with a variety of apps. Digital art can take many forms including paintings made entirely of pixels, collage, original photography, animation and video.

Digital art has always been revolutionary. In the last fifteen years technology has opened up a variety of creative possibilities to anyone with a smartphone or a personal computer. In this talk we will look at the development of Digital Art and talk about some of the works of art in the Pixels Exhibition as well as works by a number of digital artists. This collaborative exhibition gives us a rare glimpse into how people around the world are using their computers and devices to make art. Pixels is on view from November 22 through February 11, 2024.
