Computer generated art is by no means new yet the digital art movement still managed to sneak up on us. It is difficult to pin point when digital fine art began because its very close relatives, graphic design, photography, animation and such, have existed for quite some time. Disciplines like these have always been accepted as visual mediums but not always as fine art mediums.
But those disciplines and others like them have ensured that art and technology have retained a symbiotic relationship of some sort. Although that relationship has not always been recognized it can not be denied.

You may not realize it, but digital art is the kind of art you are most exposed to. Computers and digital media improve our lives and our creativity in manners that we would never have thought possible only a few years ago. Some modern art experts say that digital fine art is a natural evolutionary result of the progression of human technology, and that it should be recognized as a vital cultural phenomenon.
Just like any art form, digital fine art is created by three factors: artist inspiration, technique and presentation. All the traditional artistic techniques still apply to digital art – techniques such as perspective, light, shadow and expression.
