Grafika komputerowa – technika analogowa czy nowe medium?

Abstract

The text elaborates on the problem of the independence of analog and digital graphic art in the context of the traditions of printing techniques, but also in the confrontation with the development of graphic techniques using new technologies. The author reflects upon the problems of redefining the notion of “graphic art” confronted with the mass culture and the informational society. It is a subjective vision of the author – the technical graphic artist himself, who does make use of the digital technology in his own artistic work. Admitting that the huge impact digital media have made on the shape of contemporary graphic art, the author notices that graphic technologies differ more in the context of the idea of graphic art than in its aesthetic level.
