Dawn of the Digital

The uprising of digital technology was unstoppable, and widely popular among artists with new and expansive opportunities. Once an image, language, ect was included into a computer, it could be altered in various ways.

Scanned work like the one from Lillian Schwartz Mona/Leo that shows a split image between Leonardo Da Vinci famous work; Mona Lisa, with a pic of a self portrait for the other half. 

Jean-Peirre Yvaral had also tweaked into Da Vinci's work by reconstructing the Mona Lisa into Synthesized Mona Lisa. 

Victor Burgin's Angelus Novus is a triptych of digital prints where the central piece shows a woman altered by the contrasts and exposure to lighting effects. From each side reveals bombs dropping from planes during World War II. Burgin intended for the viewers to see the 'angel' looking outward from the center of the piece, with her wings being flanked from each side. It is somewhat meant to only appear this way.
