Week one's task is to start generating ideas that we will use as our Folio topics. The following are subjects and comparisons I found whilst brainstorming, that I may like to dive further into.
-Technology- how does it change the body?
-Social media
-Privacy
-Digital art as a communication resources
-The Internet's endless information and it's ability to merge fact and fiction
-Simplistic Vs Complexity
-Natural Vs Artificial
-What we create can turn into social laws
-hyper reality
-The excessive and exploitation use of famous images- appropriation
-Old school being in fashion: using the past to make art, history being modernized- appropriation
                 -technique
                 -previous works of art
                 -historical events and landmarks
                 -religions
                 -leaders and legends
                 -fairy tales and characters
Is it honest art?

-Digital art is redefining what the human anatomy is and can be. The unreal is becoming a belief of what the expected and norm is, and the extraordinary is testing what we want to view and find as art.
