Abstract

The phenomenon of digital art transformation and artificial intelligence (AI) has become a crucial issue in the development of contemporary art, particularly in the context of new creative expressions driven by technological advancements. This issue is essential to study due to its significant impact on the ways art is produced, received, and evaluated in today’s digital society. The research aims to examine three key aspects: the visualization of digital artworks, forms of art created through applications, and artworks generated by AI algorithms. The research methodology employs a qualitative approach by investigating the dissemination of graphic images on the internet and social media. Data analysis utilizes descriptive and comparative methods, using case studies of recent digital graphic artworks to understand the transformations taking place. The research findings indicate that digital technology and AI open new avenues in art creation, introduce new aesthetics, and reshape the relationship between creators and their works. The conclusion highlights that the integration of technology presents both challenges and opportunities, with further research needed to explore its long-term impacts on the art industry and creativity.
