Original post:

“I hope to establish the relation of specific image, object, event or environment to conceptual frames. These frames exist within art and technology and are present in other forms of symbolic and material culture (51).” said by Beverly J. Jones . Actually, Jones consider as the technology change, art form also changed by the technology. There are some relationship between art and technology. On the one hand, art promote graphic design. On the other hand, new technology also always use for the old mode of art.
If we look back to the thesis, we can easily find out there are three historical examples author use in the article. The first example I found is about digital art.“In the 1940’s analogue computers were used to generate the earliest computer graphics and display them on oscilloscopes. Ben F. Lapofsky and Herbert W. Franke were among the pioneers creating these images. Franke’s graphics were phase forms, presented as events rather than as static imagery.( page 52)” Author use this example to how digital art developing. The digital art is improving from past to now.
I think one of the creations that I can image and relate to Beverly J. Jones’s article is google glasses. I consider google glasses change how people see the world. It is so easy to record the videos and take photos for everybody that everybody can become a photographer. People think this technology change the way how artists to create the artworks. Some people got the positive attitude, they think this creation gives motivation for people to create their own artworks. However, some people get negative opinion about this creation. They consider people use the google glasses to create artwork is totally different from the way how photographer use their camera to take photos. Although I’m not a big fans of photograph, I think people should accept the way of new form of art. I understand sometimes new technology might hard to accept by people, new technology challenge people’s mind about how to create art.

Reflection:
When I was a kid, I asked my grandma, what is art? Grandma said, art is painting or sculpture. When I growing older, I found that people not only use camera to took photos but also use camera to create art. In that time, I know that photos take by the camera also can consider art. In someday, I studying in Unite State, I found that people also use the light to irradiate on the wall to create art. After that, I learn that people also can use digital game to create art. Actually, technology is changing and also create different new art form.
Future:
I’m not sure what kinds of art form will bring by technology. Actually, technology already gave us enough surprise. I hope in the future technology can give us more methods to shows the beauty of the world.
