"The artist
chooses the media and the goal of every artist is to become fluent
enough with the media to transcend it. At some point you pass
from playing the piano to playing music."

Larry Bolch, artist and philosopher
"Cyber art is digital art that is created exclusively
for viewing, appreciation and experiencing on the Internet."

Pygoya (Dr. Rodney Chang), Cyber artist
"The digital artist
creates 2D images totally in the computer virtual environment
with the use of painting tools that emulate natural media styles...the
end result is what matters,not the "Racial Purity" of the techniques
used to create it... It is the consiousness of the artist's intention
that serves to separate fine art from other forms... It is actually
the quest,.. and your search that makes it "Fine Art" that your
are doing. This quest should be never ending. Fine art is growth
process"

W.J.Kosshall, A digital artist
"Digital art needs no defense. It's here, it's pervasive,
it's succeeded in encouraging digital artists by the tens of thousands
all over the world. It is the most popular art form ever. It should
be taken for granted. It does not need the imprimatur of fine
art critics, which will come anyway."
-- Don Archer, Curator, Museum of Computer Arts (MOCA.COM)
"Well over a decade of practice and experimentation in making
digital art has brought to the scene artists possessing a fine
degree of skill with imaging software. However, the critic or
art lover refuse to seriously consider digital art simply because
they don't know how it is made."
"Art is not about the tools used to make it; but in the organization
of color, line, form, composition, rhythm and the interplay of
all these in support of the subject matter or intent of the work
itself. These are the basic and well established tenets of visual
art and as fundamental to digital art work as to the cave paintings."
"For digital art to join in this time honored game, to become
present in the world of Fine Arts, it must move beyond mimicry
of traditional media and forge new visual ground
The strength
and worth of a visual statement can be evaluated based on one's
skill to manipulate line, composition, color, form, rhythm...plus
an artist's sensitivity in selecting and manipulating a visual
style along with the other tools used to create a particular work
of Art."

J.D. Jarvis, artist and art critic
"Within the digital creative matrix is a human consciousness
that must utilize the traditional processes of understanding line,
color theory and subject matter - its linear function is the same
by definition as traditional processes and must be judged and
valued accordingly."

"It is my belief that a good fine artist will be attempting
to do either one of two things through their art: communicate
something through their art or work through an internal process
It is the consciousness of the artist's intention that serves
to separate fine art from other forms. Digital fine art is only
that which is entirely "made" using digital processes.
It is actually the quest, the search
and your dedication
to the search that makes it "fine art" that you are
doing. This quest should be never ending
Digital replacement
of natural media basically uses the computer to emulate various
"conventional" artistic processes and materials. The
results of such work are frequently indistinguishable from "the
real thing". The actual process of creating the work is effectively
similar, except that rather than brushes, a canvas and paints
we use a monitor and software."

Paula Barclay, Digital artist
Original work done without any use of a scanner is original computer
art. Digitalized art as computer-aided art, what it is called,
is not original art made with the computer when other images are
used to produce the final image.

Ansgard Thomson a digital artist
"The artistic quality is a unique combination of forms, colors,
lines, design, rhythm and composition through which an artist
gives shape to his/her visions. This quality is achievable in
digital medium also. I believe, art is not in the medium or tools;
it is in the mind and heart - if it there, it will show."
