THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION OF

VISUAL MEDIA
GROUP 1
THE RISE OF PHOTOGRAPHY
 THE NINETEENTH CENTURY:
THE INVENTION OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography was established as a new visual representation
technology in 1839. Despite its widespread use, photographers have
spent decades experimenting with techniques and debating the
essence of photography. They argued on whether photography
should be considered an art or a science, what photos should
express, their function, and look. They also debated whether to use
aesthetics from other arts or to experiment with their own. They
became part scientist as they mastered new methods and
equipment, tackling aesthetic issues like as presenting multicolored
reality in monochrome. They examined conventional themes such as
portraits, landscapes, genre scenes, and still lives, as well as novel
camera techniques..
THE RISE OF DIGITAL ART
 BRIEF HISTORY OF DIGITAL ARTS
Digital art is a growing phenomenon, with various types including fractal, data-
moshing, dynamic painting, 2D computer graphics, 3D computer graphics, and pixel
art. The most popular form is digital photography, which uses digital cameras to
capture detailed shots. Other popular digital art forms include photo-painting, digital
collage, 2D digital painting, 3D digital painting, manual vector drawing, integrated
art/mixed media and hybrid painting, raster painting, and computer-generated
painting. Famous digital artists include Alberto Seveso, Stephen Mcmennamy, Nik
Ainley, Jason Naylor, Sara Ludy, Irina French, David McLeod, Sean Charmatz, Aiste
Stancikaite, and Rachel Walpole. Critics argue that digital art reduces the role of
the artist, as technology handles the hard work. However, digital art is present in
various fields, such as museums, cinematography, animated films, fashion, graphic
design, and interior design. Digital art is an authentic art form, as it cannot be
formed without the idea and creativity of an artist. As technology evolves, more
digital art forms will be created, and more digital artists will be recognized as top
and valuable artists of the new generation. As digital art continues to grow, it is
expected to continue to evolve and become more popular in various fields..
 THE RISE OF COMPUTER-
GENERATED IMAGERY (CGI)
BRIEF HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY AND
CGI IN MOVIES AND ANIMATION
CGI has been utilized in films since the 1960s, with the first
appearance in the 1958 film Vertigo. Westworld was the first
feature picture to use computer-generated imagery (CGI).
Star Wars, Alien, and The Black Hole all utilised wire-frame
models. In the 1980s, pioneers of visual effects like as
Industrial Light & Might continued to push the envelope. CGI
technology was employed in revolutionary films like as
Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Jurassic Park, Toy Story, and
The Matrix in the 1990s. CGI is being used in movies like The
Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy for thousands of
shots, accounting for 90% of the film.
HIGH-TECHNO GADGETS
Multimedia has modernized society with High-
tech systems where data is disseminated worldwide
with just one click. Every individual in this generation
can't live in a world without media. Digital media consists
of gadgets online or offline through signals and
radiowaves. The technology consists of international
data called WIFI, to which we have access to all online
network platforms that we use daily to contact,
entertain, navigate, and much more with our gadgets.
My grandparents once told me those folktale stories
they said came from their ancestors and are remembered and
written down on paper to share for every generation. Today,
with digital media, we can share and express these stories to
the world. Digital media is based on the consumers who are full
of creativities, as we can see nowadays. People tend to rewrite
and spread information throughout the globe, and still, people
seek the origin of these tales. Like movies, there are different
versions of these movies, such as Disney movies that were
remade from story books into live actions with the help of
Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) or digital media.

I've interviewed my relatives, especially my family members born in the

1950s and above, who often write letters and go to each other's houses to bond
or communicate. News or any information is now able to be disseminated
anywhere and anytime. Many rumors and issues are visible online; we seek truth
and reliable sources to determine every data we've collected to avoid fallacies
and misinformation. In the year 2000 in the Philippines, people started
communicating using smartphones such as Nokia and daily purchase of sim
cards. They can take photos from their mini gadgets rather than an actual
camera. Technology nowadays has influenced everyone and made a vast
advantage to everyone's daily use.
