Computer art is any art in which computers play a role in production or
display of the artwork. Such art can be an image, sound,
animation, video,CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, videogame, web
site, algorithm, performance or gallery installation. Many traditional
disciplines are now integrating digitaltechnologies and, as a result, the
lines between traditional works of art and new media works created
using computers has been blurred. For instance, an artist may combine
traditional painting with algorithm art and other digital techniques. As a
result, defining computer art by its end product can thus be difficult.
Computer art is by its nature evolutionary since changes in technology
and software directly affect what is possible. Notable artists in this vein
include Manfred Mohr, Ronald Davis, Harold Cohen, Joseph
Nechvatal, George Grie, Olga Kisseleva, John Lansdown, and JeanPierre Hbert.
Marcin Jakubowski

A concept artist and illustrator, Marcin Jakubowski works as a freelancer from Gdansk, Poland. He
was first introduced to digital art in the early 1990s, and has now come a long way from his
beginning as a self-taught digital painter . He attributes his skills to a desire for success and also
to studying the talents of other designers online.Marcin has completed projects in several fields,
including TV commercials and shows as well as CG animations. However, his passion lies in
creating other worlds for both games and films. He has received a number of awards, one of

been published numerous times in noteworthy publications such as the

for digital painting and illustration, Michael has created art for

posters, billboards, book covers, and much more. His art has been
featured in the cover of magazines such as Advanced Photoshop
