Digital art in China

  • The article talks about the influence of internet and technology for China’s artist’s. He describes the computer as a new tool for present artisan’s. How digital art is a little controversial. The author emphasizes he is not against it but for it. Boqiao speaks about different venues that digital art has shown itself. He also speaks of a few art schools in China.
  • I found it interesting that he talk’s about electronic games or interactive games in the 80’s to be a source for many artist’s. Changing China’s art from oppressive into uninhibited.
  • Boqiao writes well but I wished he had explored how it had transformed the artwork by giving examples. I don’t care about listing to all these festival’s and such. It makes it sound more like an announcement. If he had been precise and indicated how China’s art had changed it would clarify a lot more for me.
