Computer Art
This is an excerpt from the paper...
As the personal computer has become more widely available in the last decade, computer art has made great strides. The effect of computers in the art world has been and continues to be very profound. The computer has radically changed the way that art is produced and disseminated. A controversy has arisen over whether computer-generated art or computer-assisted art is true art. Computer-generated and computer-assisted art works are true art. The computer is just another tool at the disposal of the artist. The use of the computer as a tool or medium is the choice of each individual artist working in the realm of visual arts. The time-honored art practices of putting pigment on canvas with a brush, cutting images into copper plate with a burin, and welding, whittling, and forcing materials into shape to form three-dimensional forms will not be completely replaced by digitization and the use of computers (Frank 96). Art does not require the use of any particular types of media or tool to be used in the creation of the aesthetic object. At the vanguard of technological and social change, the computer provides a new tool, medium, and way to look at art. Most artists in the pre-Generation X eras have not been exposed to the computer as a tool for creativity.

These four ghosts, generated by computer, fall into the category of art. Each shot had to be painted by an animator at a high-resolution Silicon Graphics workstation. This process required the artist to choose from limitless colors, shapes, and densities. At the same time, the artist had to maintain the correct angle for the camera perspective and for lighting (Kaplan 64). The new technology has increased the time to create a realistic movie ghost and other special effects. The use of these new types of special effects has increased the ability of the film writers, producers, and actors to affect their audience. Computers have increased the realism and ability of a film to have an influence on society.
Macintosh computers have an important place in the computer marketplace. The majority of artists use Macintosh computers. These systems were designed for visual use. Most of the first computer graphics, drawing, and layout programs were designed initially only for Macintosh computers and have since been modified for use on
