Collages have transformed from just the cutting and pasting of tactile images, like many think of when they hear the word collage. Contemporary collage use of videos and screens is a different approach. Going from the tactile collages of the 20th and 21st century to the ever-present contemporary ones using installation and videos shows the different generations and the world around them.
Collages allow artist to mix different mediums and materials to create something totally unique. Exploring mediums brings more of a thrill and curiosity because they are normally not partnered together. It allows a more unique and free way to approach an artwork.
