About The Name
There are many people who consider themselves “artists” that have very strict views against the computer as a valid media. They feel it is impersonal, intangible, unsophisticated, too easy, and fake. I disagree.

With my own art I struggled for years to determine what media my art falls under. For instance, I often draw with a Wacom Tablet in Photoshop. Many people would not consider this “drawing” at all. This is the gray area, the unexplored, unfamiliar territory the traditionalists are afraid of and so quick to dismiss.

If digital art is not considered “art” then so be it. Let’s just call it something different. Let’s call it Digital Antiart.

About DigitalAntiart.com
The purpose of this site is to exhibit only the highest quality antiart that was created with the use of a computer. This site will act as a traditional gallery. Only accepted works will be published.

The reasoning for this is that there are hundreds of websites out there that allow anyone to submit anything at any time. While this has the advantage of allowing anybody to get their work published quickly and easily, it also waters down the overall quality. You may have to browse through fifty pieces of art to find something that makes you say “wow.” On DigitalAntiart.com the goal is to have every piece make you say “WOW.”

The Rules
There are rules that must be met in order for art to published on DigitalAntiart. These rules are subject to be changed and amended as the site evolves.

1. A computer must be an essential part of the work’s creation.

• The work does not have to be created entirely with the use of a computer. It simply must be an essential part of the process.

2. The work cannot not rely on filters, clip-art or stock material.

• The point of DigitalAntiart is to demonstrate, reinforce and validate that digital art can be just as much a gateway into someone’s talents as a traditional drawing, painting or sculpture. Reliance on filters, clip-art and stock material is not accepted. This is not to say these items cannot be used what so ever, they simply cannot be a dominant, controlling element in the final piece.

3. The work must be created with the intention of being art.

• No logos, no business cards, no advertisements, no letterheads, no brochures, no websites, no commercials, no letterheads, no posters…You get the idea.
• Commercially geared works may be displayed in interviews and articles as reference, but will not be displayed in the actual DigitalAntiart gallery.
