In the final reading of our text and the last couple classes, we have discussed the inter-relationship or the interconnectedness of man with animals and technology. I stressed the idea of "networks", and how humans are made up of cellular networks but also how we interact within broader definitions of the term network. These days within the art world there are theories that center on man as a cyborg or the idea of man as a hybrid type of machine...this is due in part to our ever growing dependence on forms of technology...we are connected to our cell phones, laptops, mp3 players, which are in turn connected to much larger networks...and it is this connection that links our human flesh and bone with circuits and wire...therefore mingling our souls with machinery....something to think about!
In class we watched both Tim Hawkinson and Mel Chin on art21. Both artists use technology in their art works...Hawkinson, incorporating more crude, mechanical or kinetic elements that reference the human body and Chin using science and advanced technology as primary elements in his work. These two artists, although working in different ways, talk about the human condition in their works...social communities, our own bodies, emotions, and environmental concerns in our immediate surroundings. Take a moment to revisit those links and look over/read their work and info then respond to one or more of the following :
How much do we model the systems/structures we make-whether freeways or the Internet-upon systems within our own bodies?
Because of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
How do these two artists above, show us the good and bad results of man's fascination with machines?
Do you believe that you are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge and networks and that in some ways you rely on machinery/technology as much as you rely on your body?
Because of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteAfter learning a lot about modern art and seeing art a lot in my life I do feel that due to technological changes, art has changed since the 1950s. I feel that now due to technology people are able to think more out of the box then just do the everyday normal techniques. I believe that since things have changed over the years, artists are able to get more intense with their art. For example, the use of photoshop can send a picture or thought so much further. The use of technology helps to add new ideas and to even change old. I feel that it is definitely a change for the better.
Technology such as Adobe products have increased the quality and simplified how one may produce various art forms. It's just incredible how technology has changed the art world.
ReplyDeleteBecause of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteI feel that art, in the 1950's was a lot different in some ways than art in present day. Art back than was more just paintings,sculptures, and a lot less advanced in technologies. But now they use so much technology, like Tim Hawkinson's mechanical structures. To me they are a totally different piece of artwork then back in the 1950's.
Artwork usually reflects current situations and lifestyles, so as lifestyles change and technology improves, the art work will change along with it giving us a chance to see the differences between now and the 1950's.
ReplyDeleteArtwork has def. changed since the 1950's. Techniques are different and networks have formed allowing artisit to branch out. Technology is a big part of our lives and it changes to rapidly, it would be a lie to say artist don't see that and use it to their advantage to create something new before it becomes an old tech. Every thing has a network, from the body to technology. It's everywhere!!
ReplyDeleteBecause of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteBecause of the invention of the vast majority of technology was created between the 1950's and present the materials used to create art has also extreemely changed. Instead of creating a piece of art with a simple paint brush and canvas artists have started to incorporate new materials and technologies such as mechanical gears and computers to make their artwork seem more realistic. In my opinion, the introduction of these new pieces gives the viewer a closer feeling to the artwork, as if by the art piece moving it is taking living form. Although I enjoy the new style of art, I also think the simplistic artwork that was created in the 1950's measures up to the same level of the present day art.
Artwork has changed significantly since the 1950's. In the 1950's art work was very simple, today artwork is much more complex, involving many elements. As Tim Hawkinson and Mel Chin express themselves through their art directly shows this. They use technology and science to structure their art; much different from artists in the 1950's.
ReplyDeleteHow much do we model the systems/structures we make-whether freeways or the Internet-upon systems within our own bodies?
ReplyDeleteOur own body is made up of parts that are all interconnected, whether it be connected by blood vessels or by synapses, etc. Every piece of our body is working together to thrive and live. I think our freeways and the internet are both modeled after this connectivity. The internet itself is a huge thing, and contains many small interconnected websites. You can find anything you want by accessing the main object of the internet. Our freeways all connect in different ways, leading us to other places. In both examples, everything is connected and working together to complete a goal.
I feel like i certainly use larger systems of knowledge and technology just about as much as my body. Every day everything we do is technology based, and art has also evolved as technology has.Technology is changing the way we lives every day
ReplyDeleteArt is different now because of rapid technological growth. New technologies have not only improved previous art creating methods, it has also created new ones. Computers are not only a new way of creating art but also a new medium in itself. They have also made art more mainstream. Anyone with access to a computer can sit down and create a new piece of art but just using Photoshop.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is completely different than it was. Which also means art has changed as well. For example, when we watched the video on Mel Chin, he created that video game. That is considered to be art. But before video games were made they could not have been made into art. I was very interested in that artist.
ReplyDeleteI find that in many ways everyone in an industrialized society relies on technology almost as much as they rely on their own bodies. Many times people forget about showering, eating, or sleeping when it comes to using technology. Many people are more concerned over playing video games or staying up and watching their shows on TV rather then taking care of our bodies the way they need to be taken care of. In so many ways we see how people grow human like attachments to their electronics. I find that many young kids these days have cell phones at younger and younger ages. My parents come home from work and watch TV until they go to bed. Without TV I wonder what they would do with their lives. Many of my friends say they can't even fall asleep without their TV playing. All of these examples show us just how much technology has really become a top priority in life.
ReplyDeleteArtwork has totally changed since the 1950s. Not only are there many different types of art, but these variations of art are made possible by advances in the technology that is readily available to us. Art has evolved from painting on canvas and simply photography.
ReplyDeleteI believe that while humans can be connected to other things through their phones, ipods, computers, and TVs, I don't think that this has to define humanity in general as cyborgs dependent on machinery and technology to function. I think that we would definitely live differently without these things but do they really place our bodies in the back seat? If all technology went down tomorrow, it is certain that the world would be crazy for awhile, but our bodies would still work even if we were forced to live in a simpler time without bluetooth and wifi.
ReplyDeleteArtwork has definately changed since the 1950s because the issues and how artists reflect upon those issues have changed. Also, we now have more advanced technology not only to use in the artwork but to use to create an artwork that we lacked in the 50's. Technology also allows the work to be viewed by more, through the use of the web and other electronics.
ReplyDeleteBecause of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteArt has had many changes since the readily available use of computers and technology. in 1950 the art was just the art, in today's day we are able to take a piece of art and make it into thousands of different pieces of art through the technology that we have, like photoshops and other editing tools. Also technology makes it easier for artists to get discovred, and display art.
I would say art has changed from the past due to new technology and enhanced media. Virtual images and digital art was definitely not even a thought in past artwork until these new ways were created.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion artwork between now and the 50's has most definitely changed due to the availability of computers and modern technology. There are so many different software programs and editing tools available that an artistic has pretty much endless possibilities in what he or she wants to create. The use of electronics, television, internet and many other things allow artists work to be discovered more easily. Art in the 1950's was very simple and plain but now a days art is so complex and in depth you sometimes have trouble understanding the meaning or even seeing all the elements of the piece. In addition to the use of the technological incorporation also the incorporation of ecological things have been used in art today. Artists have been using things like mechanical gears and large pieces of things for sculptures and began setting their artwork up out in nature. I think overall there is a drastic difference between art of today and the art of the 1950's.
ReplyDeleteArt work has def. improved because of technology and enhanced media!
ReplyDeletethis just shows how technology has advanced over tiem... and will continue to do so... i enjoy his work... and i am also excited to see whats instore for the future.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is always changing and improving in my opinion. It is crazy to think and look how it has affected art and how it can be "produced" or "made." I enjoy his work quite a lot and will keep tabs on that type of work as well.
ReplyDeleteI definitely believe art has changed since the 1950's, through the modernization of our society as well as technology. Art has gone wild since technology has become more advanced and the videos from art21 prove it.
ReplyDeleteArt has majorly changed since the 1950's. Technology has majorly changed the things that artists can do. For example, photography is so much different today because of the advance in cameras and computer programs. Most of the videos from art21 show the artist using some sort of newer technology that wasnt around in the 50's to improve their art.
ReplyDeleteLike we always talk in class, art doesn’t even really have a definition because it is always changing due to evolution. So of course artwork between now and the 50’s has changed due to evolution. We now have many advanced computer technologies that allow people to create almost anything. Because artists have such advanced technologies they are able to explore many possibilities and create many things that they could have never created before. I think that there are similarities between art today and the 1950’s, however there are drastic differences as well.
ReplyDeleteBecause of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteThere are many different ways that art has advanced with ecological changes along with technological ones. For example in the 50's they were still using black and white photo, not only now do we have color but there is access to so many more resources to make your work better. There is so much mroe available and so many more accesses than the 50's.
i agree with most of the people who commented. art is completely different because of technology and different things that are now available. artists also have viewed "old" pieces of art and have gotten inspired to expand on those ideas (put a modern twist on it).
ReplyDeleteBecause of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteWell, nowadays artwork isn't just paint and pencils. We are now seeing artwork that has been generated by computers and other types of graphic design tools. Also, people use other things that aren't typical things that are used to make art. They are using more complex things rather than just using a paintbrush and pencil. Also when dealing with photography in the 1950's they had black and white photography, and now we have color and high definition colored photographs and the computer can manipulate those photos unlike back in the 1950s.
Because of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteSince the 1950's a lot has changed. There are tons of programs that allow people or creators to change art in a big way and sometimes make it unrecognizable. Art is now easier to create not to mention a lot more efficient.
I believe there is a big difference between the artwork you see now, and the work youve seen 50 years ago. 50 years ago people didnt have the computer programs and supplies we can get now. For this reason technology is creat because it expands our possibilies and knowledge. On the otehr hand people are starting to rely on computers and technology for alot of things but thats just come to be everday life.
ReplyDeleteI think that we are interconnected with our bodies as we are with larger systems of knowledge. Every year that passes, technology enhances and people become more dependent on technology. And also, the more technology develops, the more it effects art, how it is made, perceived, etc. With new technology comes new art.
ReplyDeleteArtwork is different today because in todays world we can take say a single picture and change it to make it look like a new piece of artwork a million times over. Computers and other technologies have given artists an ability they never had in the 50's such as Photoshop or even Microsoft Paint.
ReplyDeleteHow much do we model the systems/structures we make-whether freeways or the Internet-upon systems within our own bodies?
ReplyDeleteI feel now days we depend upon machines too much and may find it difficult to live without it.
Because of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
Now days we have more & with the popularization of the internet that it maybe possible to eliminate the literal institutions of art such as museums and galleries.
How do these two artists above, show us the good and bad results of man's fascination with machines?
I believe they show us how much we could go. As Far as we may advance or even how we can abuse the technology for something wasteful.
Do you believe that you are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge and networks and that in some ways you rely on machinery/technology as much as you rely on your body?
I believe I have a close balance at least between the 2, but I may lean towards technology a little more since I love using computer alot. I think there should be a good balance.
Art used to be a few tradtitonal types, such as painting and sculpture and now it seems to be anything and everything that one may consider creative. Some things may be art in one person's eyes and not in another. Before this class, I did think of art as mainly paintings, drawings, sculpture, even crafts that i liked to do myself. Some of the things we have seen over this course I would still not consider to be art, however there are many things that I didn't know could be considered art, but now that I have thought and processed it, it really is art in places I would have never looked before.
ReplyDeleteI feel as though technology has changed art for the better because it has opened new opportunities for artist to expand. I think with the help of different technology... it's become easier for artists to produce new art through a computer giving it detail to look like an actual panting.
ReplyDeleteSince the 1950's and the changes that have happened in our society, how we recieve and produce things have changed. We recieve more things on a screen then we do on paper, we get emails, chats, posts, images from twitter. Images are being uploaded everywhere onto an interconnected network. Depending on who loads it and what they want to call it almost anything can be considered art. It is also a reflection of that's how we recieve the art. There are still museums and galleries that you can go and physically experience a piece of art, but most of us have never been to see the physical painting of the Mona Lisa but can identify it, and relate to it because of the images that we have had streamed to us in order to experience it.
ReplyDeleteYes I do believe that we are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge and networks. We def rely on the internet to communicate to others, or our cellphones. We need them to plan our lives and remind us when we have to go do something.
ReplyDeleteBecause of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteArt has been effect by the last 60 year in almost every aspect. The technological changes have effect the art world in the most advanced ways they can make are. Also events that have happened has also effected art, such as the Obama picture.
Do you believe that you are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge and networks and that in some ways you rely on machinery/technology as much as you rely on your body? I don't believe that I rely on technology as much as I rely on my body. I do have a little dependence on technology but if I had to I would be able to become independent of it.
How much do we model the systems/structures we make-whether freeways or the Internet-upon systems within our own bodies?
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of freeways, I think of roads leading to a destination. When I think of internet, I think of google and being connected to a specific website. When I take these two words, freeway and internet, and think of the body, I think of leading to a final destination. The body works together to function, and the veins are the freeways of the body and the brain is the internet of the body. If the freeway or internet of our bodies or of the real world ever stopped working, everything would break down and there would be great destruction.
Do you believe that you are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge and networks and that in some ways you rely on machinery/technology as much as you rely on your body?
ReplyDeleteI definitely believe that we are connected to larger systems of knowledge and that we rely on these systems whether they be the internet, techonology, or simple machines almost as much as we rely on the movement of our hands. We notice this most when our normal day to day routine is disrupted by something like a blackout occurs and theres no power to operate our normal machines and systems. No phone service, no internet, no traffic lights, no heat...its amazing to think how much we rely on these things everyday. Obviously we'd be able to survive without these things but the problem lies in the fact that our responsibilities to others are dependant on them. For instance, many businesses, their whole operating systems rely on computer technology. If that system is broken down, then work is closed, then employees are empty handed, and so on. Our world is built on systems built on larger systems and when one system fails, its almost like a domino effect. So yes, i believe I am very interconnected with larger systems in this world and that I rely on them almost as much as I rely on my body
Because of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteI feel that technology has alot to do with the difference in art from the 1950's to the present day. Like stated above, I feel as though in the 1950's everything was just so black and white. No one really experimented with anything but the typical paintings and sculptures. When technology in art came along however, I feel that art expanded and now there is just so much more you could do with it than you could in a previous decade.
I definately rely on technology more than my body. Being a Biology major, I used technology everday to complete my assignments and labs. So in my case technology is a big part of my life!
ReplyDeleteI definately rely on technology more than my body. Being a Biology major, I used technology everday to complete my assignments and labs. So in my case technology is a big part of my life!
ReplyDeleteI believe technology is a huge part of society and many people use it more and more each day. Art has definitely changed over time with the use of technology. Having access to the internet is a way to make art more popular because it's easier accessed.
ReplyDeleteTechnology has changed the world in a number of ways and has impacted art a lot. Programs like photoshop allow people to really make a picture into something completely different and look very surreal. It makes the process a lot easier and saves a good amount of time.
ReplyDeleteQ. How much do we model the systems/structures we make-whether freeways or the Internet-upon systems within our own bodies?
ReplyDeleteA. I don't believe there is an intentional modeling of systems based on the human body. Inherent similarities between the systems makes it impossible for them to be too un-alike.
Q. Because of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
A. Technology has simply opened up many new mediums that were not available to artists in the 1950's
Q. Do you believe that you are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge and networks and that in some ways you rely on machinery/technology as much as you rely on your body?
A. I strongly believe that we are interconnected and rely on technology and machinery. Technology has vastly changed the way we work, interact, and entertain ourselves. Could anyone imagine going a week without cell phones, the internet, etc?
Art has definitely changed a lot from the 1950's due to the way it can be created. Computers and other types of technology are now used more to create works of art. Examples include Tim Hawkinson's face connceted to the machine which enables the face on the wall to move, and Mel Chin's video games that he created. Society today relies on technology and can relate to these types of art work easier.
ReplyDeleteI do beleive that art has been strongly affected by the media, in a good and bad way. Now a days people are much more broad and to the point, not to mention ignorant so therefore they ridicule great works of art and portray them in different ways. I feel that artists way back in the day meant alot more when they were painting then they do now.
ReplyDeleteHow much do we model the systems/structures we make-whether freeways or the Internet-upon systems within our own bodies?
ReplyDeleteI don't think we intentionally model systems with are own bodies all the time, but I do think for some the body does influence freeways and the Internet.
Because of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
Art work now is much more advanced when it comes to technology. In the 1950's everything more or less was a painting, a drawing, etc. Now because of Technology and experience art is in many different shapes and sizes.
How do these two artists above, show us the good and bad results of man's fascination with machines?
It shows that humans can learn and almost anything can be done with machines, but it also show that maybe these two artists rely on machines too much. It kind of looses the history of art.
Do you believe that you are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge and networks and that in some ways you rely on machinery/technology as much as you rely on your body?
Yes everyone in the present time rely on machine/technology way too much. Some don't realize it or do not like to admit it but it is the truth. I know I rely on my cellphone and computer way too much. But I do rely on my body a lot. I still make sure I do thinks outside of the technology world, while others do not realize how hypnotized they are with machines/technology.
Art work has changed significantly since the 1950s, mainly due to the technological changes. Technology has advanced, therefore artwork has advanced. Technology now gives artists a broader working environment, and allows them to furthur develop their artwork. Many programs have been introduced to the world; many of which are used by various artists. As stated in class all semester, art is always changing - so it was bound to change regardless of new technological advances.
ReplyDeleteBecause of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteArt today is completely different than art back in the 50s because of the fact of all the technology we have now. The advancement in computers and electronics really made it easier for artist to create more art, that is completely different from the art of the 1950s. Technology also helps get art out there for people to see with the use of computers, and television I think that art work can really get around faster for everyone to see.

ReplyDeleteArt has for sure changed since the 50's. Today many have access to programs such as photoshop, maya, after effects ect.. All opening new realms of art for others to expose.
ReplyDelete- Lucas Evans
I feel that art as definitely changed since the 1950's. Art is always changing and evolving to fit our culture. Technology has changed dramatically since the 1950's causing art to change as well.The advancements we have today are alot better than back then.
ReplyDeleteI believe many things are built based on our bodies. Our bodies are truly an amazing machine and why not base something off that? Art between now and the 50s are so different. Of course we have photoshop and technology to improve and change our art. We rely on so much on everything daily. We rely on our parents to do our wash to have clean clothes. We rely that a person driving a car will stop as were crossing. We rely that our government is doing everything they can to keep us safe. relying is something we are doing constantly.
ReplyDeletei think that the art has changed since the 1950's. The technology aspect has change so much since then as well. Art is always changing.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion art has changed in many ways since the 1950's. The increase in technology has made art less hands on and less meaningful in my opinion. Now anyone can create a piece of art on the computer but I do not think it is as meaningful or artistic. Technology has made art in my opion loose its value and integrity,
ReplyDeleteI feel that art in the 1950's was a lot different than present day art. Art back than was more so just paintings,sculptures, and a lot less advanced but today they use much more technology. An example of this is Tim Hawkinson's mechanical structures.
ReplyDeleteBecause of ecological changes as well as technological changes, how is art different now from art work created in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteArt has definitely changed since the 1950s. Everything is constantly changing and evolving with time, so why wouldn't art? In the 1950s, Art was mainly painting, sculptures and ceramics; but as technology advanced, artists were opened to more opportunities to experiment and "play around."
Do you believe that you are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge and networks and that in some ways you rely on machinery/technology as much as you rely on your body?
ReplyDeletePersonally I do believe that I myself as well as others around me in today's society are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge. One of the most common larger systems of knowledge that I can think of would be the system of higher education like Universities and Colleges. Most people in today's society are affected by these higher education systems in one way or another whether it is by attending one, knowing someone that attends one, or just by paying taxes for these systems. So in return, I believe most people are affected by these larger systems of knowledge. Also I do suppose that I do rely on technology and machinery as much as I rely on my body, if not more. As sad as that sounds I believe my reasoning behind this would be because of the new and improved technology that makes doing things much easier and fast that average human body.
Art is much different now than in the 1950s in the way that we use technology in art. Back in the 1950s technology existed and was used in art, but by different means than today. Tim Hawkinson is a great example of this. Different pieces produced by him are self portraits of himself using technological means. These pieces show how connected and dependent we are on technology. In one of Tim Hawkinson's pieces "Pentecost" he places robotic self portraits of himself in the tree that he creates. This is a direct simulation of how we are wrapped up in technology within the environment at the same time. It posses the question, will we ever disconnect ourselves to see the beauty of nature again or will we allow nature to be destroyed by our obsession with technology?
ReplyDeleteArt now is different from the 1950's in the fact that it can all be done on the computer. It also can be done much faster and much simpler. These new piece's of art have a much higher quality than those of the past
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, art is way different now than from what it once was back in the 1950s. Art today involves more technology and the art from the 1950s does not because they didn't have the kind of technology that we have today. The art works compared from past to the present day I think is kind of plain, they just involve colors on a canvas, and they aren't nearly nothing like Mel Chin and Tim Hawkinson's.
ReplyDeleteI belive art has definitely changed since the 1950's. Art is always changing, especially because of new technology.
ReplyDeleteDo you believe that you are interconnected with much larger systems of knowledge and networks and that in some ways you rely on machinery/technology as much as you rely on your body?
ReplyDeleteYes. The internet is a huge body of knowledge, and it is inevitable to rely on technology in this day in age.
With the advances in technology they keep coming out with something new everyday to improve our way of life. Art has changed a lot since the 1950's and will keep changing throughout our lifetime and beyond. With the use of new technology artist can create so many differnt types of art in so many differnt creative new ways, and technology is never going to stop advances therefore art will never stop changing.
ReplyDeleteArt has changed drastically since the 1950's. Technology has increased competition in the art world, seeing that we use it so much in our every day lives. Higher standards are being placed knowing that there is such great potential for art involving technology. As long as such great advancements are being made, there will be higher expectations.
ReplyDeleteI think that we do model some systems and structures upon systems within our bodies. For example, veins are a structured system for our blood to get to organs or where ever it needs to go, just as highways and roads are designed for people to get to where ever they need to go via cars. Talking in system structure they are very similar.
ReplyDeleteI think that humans and animals both relate differently to the environment now than in the 1950's. This is because of technological advances. I think that this will change how art work is created because we now have access to that technology and we can create art in a way that could not be done in the 1950's.
I think being in a university we are all interconnected with larger systems of knowledge and networks. I do rely on technology as much as my body because I can not go anywhere without my cell phone and I almost do not feel safe if I am without it. I also use the internet and a computer everyday, whether it is to do homework, communicate with others through e-mail, or just personal use.
Art has to change to evolve. It is human nature to reflect our own human persona on to things that we build. Technology has just been another medium for this since the 1950's. It aloud us to create things that did not seem fathomable less then 70 years ago. Like the internet and its influence on technology and our lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteThese two guys are a really good example of how man is so into machines these days. It is good because its a whole new style of art for artists these days to experiment with and explore. It is bad because technology is starting to be the sole focus of some peoples lives. I believe Tim Hawkinson does a really effective job with the mobile face showing how technology can run peoples lives.
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe art definitely changed since the 1950's and one major reason for that change is technology.
ReplyDeleteThrough the use of new media and technology art was changed sine the 1950's. I would not say it has changed for the better, but it gives artist a chance to explore new ideas and come up with new definations for art. It gives them a whole new world of ways to use their creativity
ReplyDeleteI think over time man has become more reliant on technology. I know this is the case for myself. I cannot go a day without having to check emails, watch tv, or use a cellphone. Art from the 1950's to now has changed in the sense that the body has become more of a canvas than it being painted on a canvas. With the new technology of using touch screens, there are now prototypes of keyboards being projected onto our skin, touch the keys with your fingers, to send an email. If art did not keep up with the changes in society, I think most would lose interest in art. In my own opinion, I still love the old style of art with paintings and sculptures, not the technology or performance art driven path that seems to have been the latest trend.
ReplyDeleteAs our technology keeps increasing and getting better, artwork tends to depict this more so than it did decades ago. Our times are changing so our artwork will change as well because I feel that art tends to focus and deliver messages about current situations or events in society at the time the piece was created
ReplyDelete
