Abstract

Modern technical materials (computer hardware and software along with their human input devices) are more and more entering the lives of artists with the possibilities and particularities that those technical materials bring to accelerating the work, and thinking of those artists based in digital media. For enterprises or countries, art is also an important cultural strategy at the moment, with a strong demand for combining new technologies. The cultural and creative industries are booming in the world. The urban tourism and economic effects brought about by large-scale art exhibitions have become an important political and cultural project in all cities of the world. In the face of this realistic demand, the entertainment and landscape presented by art exhibitions through instant interaction and astonishment of the digital landscape experience seem to be an unavoidable "kitsch". But works of art that focus on visual and sensory experiences, even if made using cutting-edge technologies, can not only bring about more complex and ever-changing social realities of mankind now, but also think more deeply about future trends. Can such works carry contemporary art Value and mission? The core value of art, which dropped far beyond the 20th century, has gone far beyond the visual field. In modern and contemporary art histories, artists have never been absent from discussions on human reality and the future. Science, humanities and the arts have never been separated in history and should not be today. Digital art as an endorsement of the age should not stop in the blind expansion of sensory experience. Digital media is not only a tool of artistic creation, but also has the function of reshaping people's way of life and cognition so as to develop a context that is unique to the art of this era. In the future, the artist's vision needs to go beyond the screen, to invest in a broader world, to think about the relationship between science and technology, art and people, to think about the core values of digital media art, and to use new media art to create a forward. The implicit meaning includes all aspects of society.
