Digital Art & AI Art Quiz
From pixel art pioneers to the NFT boom and bust — art in the digital age.
From pixel art pioneers to the NFT boom and bust — art in the digital age.
In March 2021, a digital collage by Beeple sold for $69.3 million at Christie's, making it the third-most-expensive work by a living artist at the time. That single auction catapulted NFTs, generative art, and AI-created images into the mainstream conversation. This quiz covers the full arc of digital art — from the 1960s computer pioneers to the AI art controversies of today.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore the origins of computer-generated art, landmark generative works, the rise and fall of the NFT market, the capabilities and controversies of AI image generators like DALL-E and Midjourney, copyright battles, and the artists pushing the boundaries of digital creativity.
After peaking in early 2022, the NFT market crashed by over 95%. High-profile collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club lost the vast majority of their value, and trading volumes dropped dramatically as speculation cooled and broader crypto markets declined.
In 2023, the US Copyright Office ruled that images generated solely by AI cannot be copyrighted, as copyright requires human authorship. However, works where a human makes creative choices — such as selecting, arranging, or substantially modifying AI outputs — may qualify for protection.
Generative art is artwork created with the use of an autonomous system — typically algorithms or code — that introduces elements of randomness or rule-based variation. The artist designs the system, but the final output is partially determined by the process itself.
