過程：
利用數(shù)字技術(shù)來創(chuàng)造的藝術(shù)形式的整個過程也可以稱為數(shù)字藝術(shù)。例如，由計算機(jī)來渲
染的動畫片，數(shù)字音樂還有計算機(jī)設(shè)計的雕塑品等。雖然這些作品會在傳統(tǒng)媒介中播放
演繹（如電影，錄音帶，大理石雕刻），但是這些作品很容易由數(shù)字技術(shù)來運(yùn)用的。
另一個例子就是：一幅由訪問者設(shè)計的在網(wǎng)頁上播放的畫，或是通過e-mail來交流的信
息，由街機(jī)游戲中發(fā)出的音樂。這些依舊是離開了數(shù)字技術(shù)無法實現(xiàn)的數(shù)字藝術(shù)作品。
我們感興趣的是數(shù)字技術(shù)是如何來改變藝術(shù)品的。這種改變不是受到傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)的沖擊就
是接受新的融合將是細(xì)致而又深遠(yuǎn)的。

事物本身：
最后，那些討論數(shù)字技術(shù)本身也可以成為數(shù)字藝術(shù)。一幅畫畫著一個女子在使用ATM機(jī)器
的，一首歌唱關(guān)于聊天室都可以被認(rèn)為是數(shù)字藝術(shù)。數(shù)字技術(shù)不應(yīng)該斷章取義而是乃至
于討論其意圖。我們對于通過作品本身表達(dá)什么更感興趣，來說些什么關(guān)于數(shù)碼技術(shù)的
事和它對于世界的重大影響力。

About Digital Art
AMODA defines digital art as art that uses digital technology in any of
three ways: as the product, as the process, or as the subject. These are
further described below.
This description is not intended to exclude but to encompass as much as is
reasonable. We seek to expand the public's definition of digital art (and
our own) in order to appreciate the truly vast and far-reaching impact of
digital technology on art, on the world, and on ourselves.
roduct
Art whose final form is digital in nature is digital art. These are works
that are viewed on a computer, such as software or web sites. This also
includes works that use nonstandard hardware, such as electronics and
robotics. The hardware need not be functional: a sculpture made of
integrated circuit boards could be considered digital art.
We feel that the expressive capabilities of this new medium have only been
touched upon, and so we are interested in seeing how artists express
themselves through it.
Process
Art that was created using digital technology in the process of its
creation would also be digital art. Obvious examples include
computer-generated animation, synthesized music, and computer-designed
sculpture. While these works might be presented in traditional media (e.g.
film, audio tape and marble), their production was facilitated by the use
of digital technology.
Less obvious examples include: a painting designed by visitors to a web
page; a play which reenacts an e-mail exchange; or music that samples
sounds from an arcade game. These are still works which could not exist
without digital technology to aid their production.
We are interested in how digital technology is altering the production of
art. This alteration can be subtle or profound, either by impacting
traditional production or allowing novel approaches.
Subject
Finally, art that addresses or discusses digital technology is also digital
art. A painting depicting a woman using an ATM machine, a bust of Alan
Turing, and song about chat rooms could all be considered digital art.
Digital technology need not be the focus of the piece, or even mentioned
intentionally. We are interested in works that, through their subject, say
something about digital technology and its impact on the world.
