It cannot be denied that great works have art have been created using digital and multimedia methods. The article "Integration of the Arts" describes how technology had been used to create art that is more interactive than traditional art forms. Modern multimedia and digital art is becoming more and more hands on for the viewer until the line between the two is blurred. It makes sense that art would develop to be more interactive as technology develops to allow it to do so, seeing as modern culture is fast-paced and over-stimulating. However, when do these digital breakthroughs reach the point where they are no longer considered art? Can’t some forms simply be considered entertainment? Take the concept of virtual reality, for example. Progress made in this field could easily be considered more advanced video games. And if virtual reality is considered a form of art, what is stopping us from calling video game arcades art museums? I am not denying that it take great intelligence to design digital masterpieces as well as traditional art masterpieces, but where is the inspiration? What motivates certain types of digital art besides the fact that they look cool or are stimulating? Is there any real passion behind it? Traditional great works of art have been inspired by heartbreak, fear, sadness, ecstasy, memories. What lies behind the digital movement besides technology brainiacs who want to test the limits?
