We normally think of the arts as very different from technologies in spite of the fact that art (with
perhaps a few exceptions) is practiced with the help of technology. This practice creates
interdependence between technology and art. To what extent does art respond to, or is shaped by,
the technology that enables it? To what extent have advanced and accessible digital technologies,
such as websites, digital photography, and YouTube, changed the relationship between art and
technology? Are these technologies reshaping our attitudes toward artists?
Solution
Art, to a very large extent, is shaped by the technology that enables it. In fact it is technology that
led to invention of portable paint tubes, a pre-requisite for most art forms. Technology provides a
medium, a way to the artists to express themselves. For example silkscreen painting as an art
form is a technological find.
The digital revolution which is taking place, thanks to the new and emerging digital technologies
is strengthening the bond between art and technology. Digital technologies helps artist innovate
and apply new methods to present their art. For example \"the petting zoo by mimimaforms\"
uses technology to showcase their art work. (this can be viewed on youtube).
Yes, these technologies are re-shaping our attitudes toward artists. Earlier artists and their art
works were considered exclusive, meant for the rich people. With technologies like websites,
youtube etc. even common people belonging to the middle class can have access to the artworks
and this has changed attitude as artists and their art works are now considered more inclusive..
