过程：
利用数字技术来创造的艺术形式的整个过程也可以称为数字艺术。例如，由计算机来渲
染的动画片，数字音乐还有计算机设计的雕塑品等。虽然这些作品会在传统媒介中播放
演绎（如电影，录音带，大理石雕刻），但是这些作品很容易由数字技术来运用的。
另一个例子就是：一幅由访问者设计的在网页上播放的画，或是通过e-mail来交流的信
息，由街机游戏中发出的音乐。这些依旧是离开了数字技术无法实现的数字艺术作品。
我们感兴趣的是数字技术是如何来改变艺术品的。这种改变不是受到传统艺术的冲击就
是接受新的融合将是细致而又深远的。

事物本身：
最后，那些讨论数字技术本身也可以成为数字艺术。一幅画画着一个女子在使用ATM机器
的，一首歌唱关于聊天室都可以被认为是数字艺术。数字技术不应该断章取义而是乃至
于讨论其意图。我们对于通过作品本身表达什么更感兴趣，来说些什么关于数码技术的
事和它对于世界的重大影响力。

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.
