Transdigital art

Transdigital Art is any art object such as paintings, sculptures, installations, created through a significantly integrated workflow which includes both digital software and physical media. The term can be used loosely to refer to any work that contains a significant digital component in the creative process, even in that component is not immediately self-evident in the appearance of the final art object. For example, a 3D ceramic printer can be used to transform a digital 3D model into a physical art object to be completed with glazes and slips to create a transdigital art pottery. In practice, transdigital workflows may be the norm in certain artistic subfields, such as digital colorists for sketches that were originally hand-drawn. However, the term is generally not applied in instances where the end product is a digital print or in which the non-digital component serves only for reference or is entirely obscured; it is generally reserved for work in which the physical media remains part of the final object (though the workflow of artists such as Jon Foster may call this into question).
