Digital Art in the Post-Digital Age: Inspired, Threatened, and on a Journey to Redefine Creation takes readers on a fascinating journey through time to explore the transition of art in a post-digital era, shaped by rapid technological change. Once based on traditional methods and philosophies, the art world is now facing challenges and must transform completely, as digital technologies such as AI, AR/VR, interactive systems, and algorithmic design are reshaping both the creative process and the role of the artist. This book comprehensively examines the transformation of art from the perspective of the philosophy of art history. By studying the changes of digital art from the early digital art experiments to the present, the book highlights the trend in post-digital art creation. It explores the formation of new directions of art thanks to the application of technology. Therefore, it contributes to addressing concerns about authenticity, ownership, automation, and the fear that machines can replace the role of human artists. Based on the perspective of dialectical materialism, the book focuses on highlighting the inherent contradictions of the art world as well as the disruptions and ruptures that have gradually shaped the development of digital art and will continue to shape the post-digital future. Structured in three main chapters, the book takes readers on a philosophical journey of art history from the pre-digital era to the post-digital era. It contributes to redefining creation as well as the mission of the artist in a saturated technology world. It offers a "e;Back to the Future"e; perspective to predict a certain continued development of digital art. This book is a meditation on creativity in a turbulent digital age. It affirms a powerful message: regardless of technological advances, humans remain at the center of artistic meaning, imagination, and inspiration.
