The relationship between art and computer icons

Research output: Book chapterConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Can computer icons be considered art? Clearly, this depends on what we consider to be art and its social connotations. Since the 20th century, a work of art has ceased to be something unique and its historical role has been questioned, particularly taking into account the evolution of photography. It is time to pay attention to new artistic expressions that resolve the problems related to virtuality or appearance, symbolic meanings and ethical messages as essential sources for rebuilding our present.
