Digital Art Meets TV
Television, long considered by many the antithesis of art, is becoming a new way of displaying art in your home. Digital artists are creating original pieces for display when there's nothing on TV. You can get software art (the art is actually computer code that controls sounds and images on the television), collaborative Internet-based pieces (collectors from around the world can view and modify the artwork), or DVD art (video art that plays off a DVD).

Not interested in turning your TV into an art frame? Look for digital art coming to your cell phone, too.
