From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyberarts or cyberart refers to the class of art produced with the help of computer software and hardware; often with an interactive or multimedia aspect. It can also refer to art produced through a process, any one of whose steps was influenced by such software or hardware.

This term is vague and relatively new; nevertheless much of the work described by this term is rarely described any other way. For instance, a common type of cyberart which is produced programmatically by applying a set of design rules to a natural or preexisting process. A program could produce a few million such 'works of art' in a minute.

CyberARTS is also a school program in Toronto that allows students to use digital media as a means to learn school material. Schools that offer this program are Don Mills CI and Northview Heights. [1]
