The pieces here were originally physical copies that were hand drawn . However, upon scanning, tracing and painting them through the use of Photoshop and Illustrator they became digital artifacts.
(1) in this first step a non-digital artifact was created which is basically a sketch hand drawn on paper. This is a basic form of analog artifact.
(2) The non- digital artifact was transformed to a digital artifact by scanning it and uploading it. the piece was then transformed into a PSD file format in order to digitize it even further.
(3) The piece was transformed through the use of illustrator and Photoshop in to this work and shared online which will preserve it as a digital artifact for the public.
This assignment shed some light on how much we digitize on a daily basis without being aware of it. We have become so attuned to sending emails, sharing posts, creating memes etc. that it has become the norm. This brings up the question if complete digitization will occur and kill analog? or will analog always be there?
