Digital art is taking over museums and galleries all over the world and is selling at ever higher prices. Crypto art or NFT art in particular is currently causing a stir. There is even talk of a revolution in the art market.
Even the traditional auction house Christie’s in London has recently started trading in unique digital pieces. March 2021: An auction of a purely digital NFT artwork takes place. The Beeple’s Opus is sold for a whole 69 million dollars. But what is so fascinating about digital art?
Digital art is a broad term that encompasses all art that is created digitally. A subfield of this is digital image art. The artist, Marco Jacconi, brings this very discipline into focus in his latest project. Last year he presented his unique works from the series “Shapes of the deep” with their abstract and mysterious panels at four national and international exhibitions: at the Van der Plas Gallery in New York, at the Art International Zurich, at the Galleria Cael in Milan and at the Expo Arte in São Paulo. Now the series “Shapes of the deep” is extended with new paintings. His artworks can also be seen online on the website www.marcojacconi.com.
„THE ARTISTIC PROCESS IN DIGITAL ART IS VERY MUCH THE SAME AS FOR MAKING OTHER KINDS OF PAINTINGS.“

With the Frame TV from Samsung, you can experience art at home. As soon as The Frame is turned off, it brings pictures from famous museums and galleries into your own four walls on demand. The interchangeable frames are available in different colors. They have a magnetic mounting system, so the frames can be easily changed to match the artwork.
The best book for anyone with a digital art affinity is The Designer’s Dictionary of Color by Jessica Helfand. In the various chapters, you’ll find creative stories and cultural associations for each color. Especially for digital image art, color plays are crucial. Therefore, the color dictionary is also the absolute must-have and inspiring source for the next art project!

Digital Art is interactive and takes the audience into another world. Whether it’s incredible light installations or mysterious figures created using computer software, the focus in digital art is on the relationship between artificiality and reality. This contrast fascinates and remains in memory. That’s why we at For Legends are absolutely thrilled by the digital one-offs that break down the boundaries between reality and fiction.
