Report (Research)
The objectives of the report were to provide an overview of current knowledge on the theme of digital transition and the impact of new technology on the arts in order to suggest how changes in the arts and society brought about by digital technologies affecCanadian public arts funders. A preliminary version of the report was presented to a CPAF professional development meeting of Executive Directors on March 10, 2011.
The electronic, networked and interactive natureof the digital world has
a significant impact on the arts. Special significance must be placed on the impact of networks and interactivity, as they open up new possibilities for dissemination and public engagement with artwork. The digital world is not static and is continuing to experience very rapid development.
At the moment, attention is focussed on the impact of social media which
At the moment, attention is focussed on the impact of social media which
allow for the creation and exchange of user generated content and provide a structure for people to get organized, exchange and collaborate.
Social media can have an impact on the arts from at least three different perspectives: helping to bring audiences to performances and to artworks by matching art to people who are looking for it, providing a platform to create art and carry on dialogue and debates around communities of interest and giving organizations tools to listen to the public and build arts awareness.
At the moment, the majority of applications to arts funders from artists and arts organizations continue to be for artwork that is not heavily influenced by digital technologies, but interest in using these technologies has been growing very rapidly in recent years. Artistic disciplines and practices have different dimensions in their relationship to digital technology.
There are art forms that exist because of technology (digital arts practices and film, video) and art forms that are influenced by technology (new distribution means for music, ebooks in publishing,live performing arts). This study looks at all of these areas and does not focus on digital arts.

250 word introductory statement/rational
The objectives
of this essay are to provide an overview of current knowledge on the theme of
digital transition and the impact of new technology on the arts to suggest how
changes in the arts and society brought about by technologies affect. This
essay is an investigation which shall discuss how graphics designers work now,
compared to how they used to work. Firstly, a short study of the origins of
computers will be shown, and a brief history of how computer generated design
concept was developed. I shall consider what exactly the role of the graphic
designer is and the different and varied ways in which technology is used
within it. Also, the nature of ‘graphic designer today’ will be studied and
compared with the areas of graphic design in previous eras. Secondly, a study
shall be made into what different technologies which are used in design and
what these different technologies are. This essay will explore how these
technologies are used and what benefits there are from using them over
traditional and established methods. Thirdly, there shall be discussion about
why graphic designers need or think they need technology and if there is merely
a want for technological advances.

- “ Because of the technology, we have the opportunity to become really important. We don’t need publishes anymore to do this. Just look at the Web designers, they can single-handedly reach the world eventually with full-motion video and stereo sound. We can do this for free; we can all do it at home, not only designers, but also everybody else in the world. So I am exited by this because I am hoping that people are going to be serious enough to not be constantly in search of something that’s just cool, but to be in search of ideas that can eventually begin to fill these huge empty vessels of technology” Steven Heller and Elinor Pettit
- “…..a couple of things bother me. One is the extent to which technology has evolved. The evolution of technology has been tremendous. I’m not computer-literate at all. And at the risk of being thought an old fogey, I mistrust what computers do to ideas. But given the impact of computers within the design world, the impact of computers on photography, the impact on the Web, I think that there has been a really fundamental sea change, a kind of shift of the critical mass.” Steven Heller and Elinor Pettit
