Transforming Living Spaces into Dynamic Galleries
The proliferation of digital art as a medium has ushered in a new era of customisable, programmable wall displays that are reshaping the way we perceive and interact with our living spaces (Hürst et al., 2016) (Zhao et al., 2024). These digital canvases, ranging from large-scale video walls to interactive art installations, offer homeowners the ability to curate and manipulate their own digital art pieces, transforming their homes into ever-evolving galleries that reflect their personal tastes and moods. (Xiao & Deling, 2016) (Hürst et al., 2016) (Cabannes et al., 2019) (Truckenbrod, 1986)
The unique imaging characteristics and processes of these digital systems have stimulated the imagination of artists, adding new elements to visual composition and expanding the traditional concept of art. (Truckenbrod, 1986) The fusion of humans and machines has changed how viewers approach knowledge, and the virtual and the real together constitute a mixed reality, sparking new negotiations between audiences and artworks. (Xiao & Deling, 2016) As digital art continues to evolve, it is providing a continually-changing art world with the sustained motivations and raw materials for cultural production, thereby enriching our cultural ecology. (Xiao & Deling, 2016)
The rise of digital art as a medium has been fueled by the increasing accessibility of interactive media technologies, which have given birth to new art forms and challenging traditional notions of art and performance. The demand for expressing art in the digital world and social media has been driven by the digital revolution and the widespread adoption of smart devices. (Shahriar & Hayawi, 2021)
The ability to curate and manipulate digital art pieces has transformed the living spaces of homeowners into dynamic, ever-changing galleries that reflect their personal tastes and moods. This shift has been facilitated by the development of large-scale video walls and interactive art installations that allow homeowners to personalize their environments and engage with digital art in new and innovative ways.
Furthermore, the expansion of art through online virtual museums and digital art platforms has provided new avenues for cultural production and engagement, connecting art, society, and viewers in unprecedented ways. The perpetual creation of new encounters in these digital spaces has enriched our cultural ecology, offering a diverse range of artistic expressions and experiences.
