How have recent advances in computer technology affected story telling within artwork? Technology has improved vastly over the last hundred years, it made it easier for artists and commuters to use computers and software to create pieces and commercial adverts. Over 65% of youngster’s are staying out of trouble and getting astonishing grades due to technology. As computers has improved and the technology within them has developed the cost will be much more affordable for people. People now see technology in a different way and light. In the 60s’s people needed to write up essays on paper with a pen, but now people can use Microsoft Word to type up their essays, which is much more convenient and easier for the user. Throughout this essay I will explore the works of the artists such as Daisuke Takatura, Pejac and Jon Kriwol. See how they explore the advance of computers and their designs. Quite a few artists use surrealism in their artwork to convey the narrative path with the power of modern technology. Surrealism is where a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature which sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images. Artists in the current day try to have a meaning or a story behind their art pieces and that’s where story telling comes from; what that means is trying to convey a message, a word, and a phase to the public. Also the other purpose of art pieces is to create entertainment for the public and create awareness for the artist and their piece. You don’t get the same ideas as looking at a poster, or a movie trailer or even the actual movie as they have real dialogs and movements. Even though some artists don’t use words in their art work, questions will still raise from the public. For example, why did the artist use these particular colours? Or how a person can perform an action which is humanely impossible? Or Why is it in a surrealism location? This is what interests the public and motivates them to take action. There has a definite impact from software’s such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and many more. This software’s allow the artists to do things that normal pen and paper can’t do like create a simple over layer, it lets them be imaginative and creative and when they put out their creativity. It will inspire people who want to become an artist or just want to create a piece to give a loved one. When this happens it will stretch the limits of people and expand their minds to new worlds of exploration, not only that art pieces can lead to short films and interactive games on the computer. People can share all these new explorations to the public by posting on the internet i.e. YouTube, Tumblr and many others. These tutorials will help other people and help them become better at things they were not so good at the beginning. When this new software’s where released it cost a lot. But as more people started to use it and recommended to others it became more popular and used by lots of people and became more affordable. Lots of effort went into when creating pieces with scalpels and with raw materials. To be honest there are no limits to an extent in using these advanced computers as Graphics Designers to use all the time. People are coming up with new techniques and improving the software’s and even producing more software’s for people to use.
