'Dynamic art' is the name for the conception of a continuous movement as a basis for Art creation. It is grounded on the process of time and its consequences on the artistic environment. It resorts essentially to digital techniques in practice. Dynamic Art is one of the extensions of Digital Art,its particular aim being to animate pictures and grant digital creations with that breath of life which was so dear to Surrealist painters . Dynamic Art is not simply a means of expressing Art, but a way to gather together contemporary artists willing to provide their creations with a life of their own. A work of Art can be animated either continously, briefly, repetitively or randomly. You can also have real-time evolving, unique, varied or even imperceptible animations. Basically, its purpose is not to create a great obvious change in the work in itself, but rather to enliven it with a movement that will eventually bring it to life.

Examples of Dynamic creations

• Landscape evolving as time goes by
• Digital portrait ageing in real time
• Evolutional 3D sculpture

'Digital Motherhood', 2003, by the digital artist Patrick Goubet is a good representation of what Dynamic Art is. Five artists were asked to design and create everyday, and in real time, the imaginary environment of a digital gestation in a nine-month time. During the digital work's daily evolution, from the first day onwards to the last day nine months later, reality, actuality and the imaginary were deeply interwoven.
