Digital Art in the Wild

Within our Learning and Digital Media class this week, we discussed examples of digital media being used within the art world--how is it used as a tool? Where do we see it in our everyday world?

In my mind, I made a connection between that and this type of account on Instagram (or other social media platforms). It is a type of account that is used solely for the purpose of promoting other artists on their platform. The author allows anyone, of any art level, to message her for an art feature--using either her story or her posts. Granted, the comments she and others give within these posts are superficial (mainly compliments). But I really love the idea of a network like this. It is a place for artists of all levels to have their work featured and talked about, outside of an educational environment. There are hundreds of users on Instagram just like this one (shown above).

I would like to keep my eye out for other ways that digital media or technology is used within our world of art.

This might be a way for young artists to feel connected with a broader community who are learning too. They will get connected with artists that are on their same level or even artists that they admire and can study. This type of social networking might get students to think more about art and connecting ideas and thinking about the use of social media within the art world--all outside of class.
