The 21st century can be described as the digital age as our lives

constantly change due to the rapid development and popularity of digital

technology. The electronic information technology-based digital media
art begins to develop and artists start to use new means for new forms of
artistic creation.

Ang ika-21 siglo ay maaaring ilarawan bilang digital age habang

patuloy na nagbabago ang ating buhay dahil sa mabilis na pag-unlad at

katanyagan ng digital na teknolohiya. Nagsisimulang umunlad ang

electronic information technology-based digital media art at ang mga

artist ay nagsimulang gumamit ng mga bagong paraan para sa mga bagong

anyo ng artistikong paglikha.

Digital media art, in a general sense, refers to a multidisciplinary field

where science and art are integrated to a high degree and artworks with
unique aesthetic value are produced by digital and informational
technology. It has exercised its irresistible influence and penetrated into
many aspects of society, culture and entertainment, including games, DV,
film and animation, digital design, digital illustration and other industries.

Ang digital media art, sa isang pangkalahatang kahulugan, ay

tumutukoy sa isang multi disciplinary field kung saan ang agham at

sining ay pinagsama sa isang mataas na antas at ang mga likhang

sining na may natatanging aesthetic na halaga ay ginawa ng digital at

informational na teknolohiya. Ginamit nito ang hindi mapaglabanan na

impluwensya nito at nakapasok sa maraming aspeto ng lipunan, kultura

at entertainment, kabilang ang mga laro, DV, pelikula at animation,

digital na disenyo, digital na paglalarawan at iba pang mga

industriya.

The huge and fast-growing digital creative industry requires a large

number of digital engineers and digital artists, which in turn promotes the
rapid development of the present digital art education.
Ang malaki at mabilis na lumalagong digital creative na industriya ay

nangangailangan ng malaking bilang ng mga digital engineer at digital

artist, na nagsusulong naman ng mabilis na pag-unlad ng kasalukuyang

digital art education.

In recent years, our digital media art discipline has become an integral
part of art discipline system and many universities and
colleges have established an additional digital media specialty or other
specialties to which it is related. Since it has happened mostly in the last
five years and represents an uneven and rapid level of growth, we need to
reflect and research the many problems arising in regards to the
discipline’s construction, teaching practices, and other aspects.

Sa mga nakalipas na taon, ang aming digital media art discipline ay

naging mahalagang bahagi ng art discipline system at maraming

unibersidad at ang mga kolehiyo ay nagtatag ng karagdagang

espesyalidad ng digital media o iba pang mga espesyalidad kung saan

ito nauugnay. Dahil madalas itong nangyari sa nakalipas na limang

taon at kumakatawan sa hindi pantay at mabilis na antas ng paglago,

kailangan nating pagnilayan at saliksikin ang maraming problemang

nagmumula patungkol sa pagbuo ng disiplina, mga kasanayan sa

pagtuturo, at iba pang aspeto.
