#TOKQUESTION What we said about Instagram as Art

Digital technology has completely revolutionized the way people produce images and art. Skill and training have been replaced (to a degree) by simply downloading an app. With the billion dollar sale of Instagram to Facebook last year and the rumored Yahoo bid for Tumblr, this is also big business.

    #TOKquestion It depends on what you define art as. You can’t generalize all photos taken on instragram as one or the other #thatshowifeelWed, May 22 2013 12:34:31

#TOKQUESTION Instagram as Art

Digital technology has completely revolutionized the way people produce images and art. Skill and training have been replaced (to a degree) by simply downloading an app. With the billion dollar sale of Instagram to Facebook last year and the rumored Yahoo bid for Tumblr, this is also big business.

But, has technology changed what it means to be an artist or what qualifies as art? If you Instagram dinner, can you say that you’re a photographer? If you VINE, are you a director?
Is art without effort, still art?Reply with #TOKQUESTION – as an added bonus feel free to attach your own art (appropriate of course!)
