Quick Definition

Art made or altered through digital tools, software, or electronic media.

Detailed Definition
Digital art includes work created with drawing programs, code, animation, scanning, virtual environments, and interactive systems. Its methods complicate traditional ideas of originality, surface, reproduction, and authorship. In poetry, digital art can inform experiments with hyperlinks, generated text, animated typography, and screen-based arrangement. It also provides language for poems about pixels, interfaces, archives, surveillance, and the unstable life of images online.
Example
Example in poetry:
A digital art poem can respond to pixels, layers, animation, or the glow of a screen as artistic materials; A poet may imitate digital collage by combining fragments of messages, photographs, maps, and captions; In a poem about digital art, a glitch can become a meaningful break in memory or identity; Write a poem in layers, beginning with a plain scene and adding a new visual or emotional filter in each stanza
Additional Notes
Digital art may use drawing tablets, photography, animation, or code; it can be edited, layered, and reproduced easily.
