Art and Technology Article 2

This time I found an essay that is talking about art and technology and the influence that technology has on art. The essay is really interesting, and discusses how the technology and the people that work in technologies are connected to art. And also I really like because one of the main points of the essay is that the role of the new technologies has changed a lot and its influence in artworks has increased in recent years. I like this main point because this is the point that I defend since I start to read about the topic art and technology. In my opinion the evolution of the technology has had an important influence in the artwork that an artist can create nowadays.
Another really interesting issue that appears in this essay is that with the new technologies “Interactive artworks that could transform viewers into participants were envisaged and created using the media available at that time. Today the opportunities for including audience participation have been increased significantly by the widespread availability of digital technology.”(Candy and Edmonds, 1). I think that this is really important because now you can use art in many different ways that maybe you could not use them years ago because the technology was worse or less develop.
