Exploration of digital tools and techniques

Subversion of traditional artistic conventions

Focus on the narrative or conceptual content of the artwork

It is a complete departure from traditional art forms and seeks to establish new aesthetic principles

It borrows elements and techniques from traditional art forms but reinterprets them in a digital context

It completely rejects the influence of traditional art forms and focuses solely on digital technology

It is a continuation of traditional art forms and seeks to preserve their aesthetic principles in a digital medium

It is irrelevant to formalist digital art, which focuses solely on technical and conceptual aspects

It is the primary concern of formalist digital art, which seeks to create visually appealing compositions

It is a secondary consideration, as formalist digital art prioritizes the exploration of digital tools and techniques

It is completely subjective and varies from artist to artist, making it difficult to define its role in formalist digital art

It eliminates the need for artistic skill and creativity, as digital tools and techniques can automate the creative process

It emphasizes the importance of artistic skill and creativity, as digital tools and techniques provide artists with greater control over the creative process

It devalues artistic skill and creativity, as digital art is often seen as a less legitimate art form compared to traditional art forms

It democratizes artistic skill and creativity, making it accessible to a wider range of individuals regardless of their traditional artistic training

It is a completely new and independent movement with no connection to other contemporary art movements

It is a hybrid movement that incorporates elements from various contemporary art movements

The lack of understanding and appreciation for digital art within the traditional art world

The rapid evolution of digital technology, which can make it difficult for artists to keep up with the latest trends

The difficulty in creating visually appealing compositions using digital tools and techniques

The limited opportunities for exhibiting and selling digital art compared to traditional art forms

It has led to a greater appreciation for the role of technology in art

It will become increasingly marginalized within the broader field of contemporary art

It will remain a niche movement with a limited audience
