Journal Title: In Medias Res - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper we will deal with those theoretical aspects that illuminate the essential relationship between technology and art. This study gains significance, especially today, when we witness the universal and unstoppable acceleration of technological advancement, especially in the field of high technology, which also has become articulated as part of the cultural system with this universal technological euphoria. However, as we will see in this paper, the strong conceptual links between art and technology as social activities existed long before the technological boom emerged in the second half of the 20th century. That is why our goal in this paper is to highlight the key fact, in which technology and art, almost partnered, shared, and still share the same destiny space for man’s civilization development.
