Artifact 7: Technology
Objectives:
- Discover the relation between art and technology
- Discuss the validity of art created with the aid of machines
Reflection:
I think art and technology influence each other. To be specific, art expresses the attitude and thoughts of people to the cultures, and art is part of culture. While the technology influence culture because technology has changed human beings’ thoughts and emotions. Technology influences people, and people create arts. Therefore, the relationship between people and technology affects the expression of contemporary art. For example, art space has changed because of the technology, and the change in the structure, principle, materials, and theme abandoned the traditional art of contemporary art. Here is a video shows the synthesis of real and digital space through projection mapping on moving surfaces.
Technology has deeply influenced the culture and art. Jones states, “Two earlier papers examine computer graphics as a reflection of culturally embedded aesthetic theories based in varying views of reality and developing technologies of communication as reflecting cultural maintenance and change.”(P. 21) widely use of three-dimensional films and pictures make the world look more real in the audiences’ eye so that the audiences can enjoy the image better than before. Technology using artistic concept enrich the world and make the audiences have a new way to enjoy entertainment. I believe the wide use of artistic concept will also help the development of technology and bring people convenience in the future.
In the future:
Technology is a very good example of today’s most advanced human imagination and creation. I love to be inspired by those technologies.
