ART & TECHNOLOGY
Both art and technology
define and continue to
reshape the globe we live in.
Technology in art challenges
our perceptions which is
what creativity and science
are all about. The change
in the nature of artworks
along with the shift in the
public interaction and the
reshaping of the museums
and exhibition areas are
creating additional areas
today than ever before.
online and market their events to
internet audiences. Exhibitions use
the internet to not only promote
their activities, but also to sell
some pieces, explore different
talents, and display an artist’s work.
Artists can independently market
themselves, create an avid following
for their work, and sell their pieces
online without the benefit, or
hindrance, of a middleman agent or
gallery owner.
Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoins
have also been used to make
payments. instead of paying for a
buying deal with a bank transfer,
cash, or other traditional means
require clearances from third parties
which are often time-consuming
at the smallest amount, and
prohibitively expensive at the worst,
buyers can now make payments for
a lower cost and sellers can receive
payments almost instantly.
Artists also can use technology as
a brand-new medium with which to
make art. Consumers can discover
many new artists and know about
the most recent and greatest
accomplishments of their favorite
artists.
This shows how we are able to
still keep ourselves connected to
the arts, despite the unpredictable
situation. However, it is not just
how artists are using technology
to make and enhance their works;
technology is impacting how those
items are displayed. From hanging
an invaluable painter's personal
collector’s home to making an
interactive installation inside a
museum, technology is taking the
art world in new directions.
