Digital Technologies in Modern Visual Art

The purpose of the article is to analyse the modern visual digitally created artworks, to find out the particularity of their application and to identify the relations between traditional and innovative methods in modern painting; to consider the method of applying paint and the functional component of 3D printing in the process of paintings “production”. The research methodology is a complex of several methods: analytical – to examine the historical literature and literature on the art studies, theoretical and conceptual method – to characterise the terminological system of the research, and also comparative and typological – to compare traditional technologies of painting with innovative and digital ones. The scientific novelty of the research is to identify the features of the introduction of digital technologies in visual art. Conclusions. It was revealed that with the help of technology of “artificial intelligence”, it becomes possible to recreate the lost fragments of images. It was demonstrated that due to the technology of three dimensional printing, it is possible not only to make copies, but also to create unique artistic compositions. It was shown that thanks to the algorithmic analysis and mathematical modelling, it is possible to establish a certain ratio of sign systems of musical and pictorial works and, based on the identified results of algorithmic calculation, to establish a certain ratio of expressive means of art in digital (mathematical) equivalent. Thus, due to “artificial intelligence”, it is possible to synthesize different types of art in one work and use the methods of various branches of knowledge. Having analysed the facts of introduction of digital technologies, algorithmic analysis of paintings and 3D printing technology, we can state the fact that algorithmic art is only at the first stage of its development and has great prospects for the future
