Due to a rise in extensive technological advances, contemporary artists are constantly redefining the parameters and methods of digital art. Borna Sammak creates what he terms “digital paintings,” consisting of thousands of images downloaded from the Internet and merged into a mesmerizing and abstract animation, displayed on a high definition digital monitor. Another artist working in digital media is Cory Arcangel, best known for his transformations of classic video games into interactive art pieces. Other artists associated with the digital art movement are Khalif Kelly, James George, Manfred Mohr, and Sterling Crispin.
