Digital art has evolved alongside technological developments. Artists have long experimented with new media and reflected on contemporary culture and technology in their work. Digital technology now allows entirely new possibilities for creating and experiencing art. Tools and mediums have changed as digital technology has advanced, with artists now using computer-based tools and hybrid digital/physical works. Some early pioneers in digital art include those who created early computer graphics and multimedia works from the 1940s onward, reflecting the emergence of new technologies.
