Fine Art Go's Digital...
LONDON, May 20 /PRNewswire/ --
- "Imagination is more important than knowledge"... Albert Einstein
If we adhere to the words of the great Albert Einstein we would be lead
to believe that a person's imagination holds the key to any great discovery.
Could then "imagination" be the key to fixing what knowledge could not?
In an unprecedented move a group of unnamed artists have sent waves
through the world's fine arts communities as they sent out cheques equating
to over 1 billion dollars heralding a defined message to the most prominent
individuals of the art world.
In a true testament to the technological age we now live in the Digital
Originals group, creators of the Digital Original concept have brought
innovation to the world's most aged community. In contacting the most
influential personas in the world of art, the Digital Originals are
confronting the timely mergence of art and technology and gathering consensus
for their brilliant concept that serves to expose the benefits and
profitability in embracing the new emerging culture of art.
Ownership and replicability of digital work is so easily forged and
Digital Originals have created a system whereby provenance can be proven. It
is a concept that will aid museum curators, collectors and artists by
verifying the originality of a digital artwork.
The work is governed original when an artist registers a domain name for
their digital artwork and display its contents at that website address. This
piece will then become the most valued artwork by terms of art appreciation
through proving the provenance of the piece.
Colin Colorful, founder of the Digital Original group and creator of the
world's first digital original (www.spamcans.com), explains the importance of
the art community joining together to embrace the innovation of digital art
and its viability as a fine art.
"If the consensus, for which we, as a group of artists, are striving, is
achieved, the problems with tracking provenance, low value, displaying and
reproducing digital art will disappear."
Colorful notes the importance of Fine Art heavyweights becoming involved
in the concept as the Art community is one of suggestion and recommendation
sighting, "to achieve the consensus, we have to work together. That is why we
got in touch with management of Christie's, Sotheby's, MOMA, National Gallery
of Art and all other major art influences in the global community."
It is important that the "arts" of yesteryear and the innate creativity
of humanity can grow with the emerging digital age and Digital Originals is a
solution founded in the very core of what it is working to preserve; the
human imagination.
