The world of art is still thriving and always adapting to reflect the changing
world. The art of present day create great masterpiece that we can be proud of.

Technology redefined art in many ways. Some examples are: (a) light
structures and floor drawings using colored laser beans and smoke; (b) tubes
hanging on the ceiling that respond to the viewer’s movements, sound and touch; (c)
a wall-climbing robot holding a paint; and (d) a pen controlled by a software program
to create patterns. Because of the usefulness of new materials to art-making, artists
have to upgrade their skills and learn the use of computer programs and its
applications. Welding is also useful for fabrication and building structure. This
requires physical strength and special tools. Some materials have chemical
components that are hazardous to the health such as acid, resin, and fiberglass. The
availability and variety of materials and the possibilities offered by technology expand
the choices of artists. This is essential to the development of contemporary art.
(Ramirez, 2016)

Contemporary artists salvage materials that can be recycled and made into
creative forms. They can make artworks that combine structure and wood and
interact with the wind to make music.

Examples

Chime Halo, the hanging bamboo chimes

that create sound when blown by the wind
done by Cavite-born artist Impy Pilapil.

Los Baños, Laguna artists Alfredo and Isabel
Aquilizan’s Project Belonging gathered used
objects, clothes, personal accessories, and many
other things and compress them into cube-shapes.
These represent the boxes sent by Overseas Filipino
Workers to their family left behind. They combine
various found objects to create a metaphor of
everyday human life and depict issues of identity,
journey, migration and displacement.

Paper as an art medium is also explored by

artists, like Mona Alcudia of Cebu who
makes solid forms as well as transparent
artworks using paper.

In outdoor sculpture, there is a lot of use of brass welded together and mounted on
concrete. Wood and glass are used for indoor sculpture. Found objects are combined
and are covered with resin. (Ramirez, 2016)

Painting is no longer confined to canvas

hung on the wall. They can also be found on
ceilings and floors. Some are done outdoors,
like the Singapore Art Bridge which was
painted by Batanes-born artist Pacita Abad
with 2, 350 multiple colors.

In architecture, there is extensive use of glass and steel. Color combination is either
complementary or strong contrasting, such as orange and blue, red and white. Over
the years, there have been a lot of building contruction, such as malls, convention
centers, business process centers, industrial parks and government service
buidings. All these demand art and contemporary artists are producing a huge body
of works not only for indoor use but for outdoor, as well. (Ramirez, 2016)

In performance art, artists use variety of

props such as rope, plastic, textile, and
found objects. Paint is also used for body
art. An example is Cagayan de Oro artist
Nicolas Aca who paints his body to project
an effect.
