-Digitally altered art exploded in the 1980s with the personal computer
-The art of appropriation began to occur when people realized they could seamlessly (or not so seamlessly) edit both classic artwork and their own artwork.
-Though many rejoiced at this technological advancement, many artists saw the capability of digitally manipulating art and photos as the beginning of inauthenticity:
"With the end of truth in photography, has come a corresponding loss of trust. Every Image, every representation, is now a potential fraud."
-Anthony Aziz and Sammy Cucher
-To further drive their point home these two artists created a series of photo manipulations titled, "The Dystopia Series."
Other artists, however, embraced this new art movement and used it to digitally represent a different reality and to create elaborate fictional narratives using composite images.
One of the most common means of digitally altering images is through the manipulation of classical artworks, the most common being The Mona Lisa:
Lillian Schwartz juxtaposed DaVinci's face onto The Mona Lisa:
And Yvarl's Synthesized Mona Lisa uses numerical analysis to structurally reconstitute the painting:
