Off of the description given in the website, it is interesting that the function of this piece does not seem to be purely artistic.
It goes to purpose of digital art as a visual aid, something which we may tend to take for granted in this era. In order for the image to
be produced, nuclei were colored using a combination of lighting and stain. Three digitized sets were then compiled into this image. I
spoke in my last blog post about digitized art that is either hard or impossible to replicate traditionally, which is a concept that can
go beyond being a novelty and rather add something to the artistry of the piece. Here, digital art is also being used in a way that
cannot be replicated perfectly traditionally though the emphasis on its purpose in doing so is more in the realm of practicality, though
notably not necessarily outside of aesthetics when presented with the color choices and presentation and how that can influence our
understanding and focus on the piece.
