The Interrelationship and Convergence of Technology and Art

Before delving into my understanding of how art and technology interrelate, it would be useful to acknowledge some common language and terminology associated with art and technology and recognize important precedents during art history and the impact of technology on art. As we know, throughout history, art has held a very unique value: its creative and visionary expression. The new, the original, and the didactic are what is needed to make a great piece of art. The concept(s) or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns. True creativity endures as one of the last eternal scarcities.
