While a digital gallery could never fully replicate the experience of walking through an art museum, some computer-generated art has the same capacity to provoke awe.

Take for example Zsolt Ekho Farkas's 3-D rendering of the 19th-century painting, Budavár Visszavétele. Observing this CGI masterstroke on your laptop is bound to stir up as much wonder as something you'd find hanging in a hushed room somewhere. The stunning three-and-a-half minute video above reveals the incredible detail in Farkas's re-creation of Benczúr Gyula's painting--and also transcends it. The video itself is a living painting, using subtle camera movements to let the viewers take in the true depth of field each figure in it possesses. Unlike the recent paintings we've seen with added movement, all that really moves here are tendrils of smoke that further clarify the spatial texture. "This was my first time re-creating a painting, and the cause is a bit sentimental," Farkas tells us. Photographer puts paint on a speaker, blasts loud music, and snaps the results.

Certainly not a bunch of notes and lines like we previously believed. Actually it looks more like a 3D Jackson Pollock painting. The images of multi-coloured globs of paint are from the man they call the ‘3D Jackson Pollock’, artist Martin Klimas. To find out what sound looks like, he placed a transparent scrim over the diaphragm of a speaker. Then he chooses a song and cranks up the volume, making the splashes of colour jump to the beat of music, all the while capturing it on camera.

All in all, Klimas spent around 6 months and 1,000 shots to finish the series in his studio in Dusseldorf, Germany. Google Is Looking For The Next Breakthrough Digital Artist For Major New "DevArt" Exhibit. Fancy having your digital artwork exhibited in front of millions?

The Google digital art showcase will sit within the Barbican’s Digital Revolution exhibition--touted as the biggest exploration of digital creativity ever to be staged in the U.K. The three acclaimed interactive artists whose work will feature are Karsten Schmidt, Zach Lieberman, and the duo Varvara Guljajeva and Mar Carnet. Following the launch in London in July, Google’s DevArt exhibition will tour galleries around the world. The winner will be chosen by a panel made up of the three DevArt digital artists and Google executives including Steve Vranakis, the executive creative director at Google Creative Lab in London.

Sustainably Illuminated Art - The Water Light Graffiti Installation is Responsibly Innovative

The brightly illuminated sculpture aims to leave a mark on Paris streets while addressing the important issue of light pollution. Often criticized for their use of environmentally damaging lights architects, artists and designers are reconsidering the way they illuminate structures, spaces and heavily populated urban environments. This sustainable art piece was created by Antonin during his residency at Paris' Digitalarti Artlab. The striking installation is meant to engage its viewer, allowing one to interact with its light and to leave a customized mark on their city. The Water Light Graffiti installation project is made up of a sustainable LED-based surface that forms light patterns when reacting to water. This fun art wall is a hit amongst individuals of all ages, allowing anyone to make personalized light paintings.
