When Nam June Paik got the first video camera in the US, he videoed the pope in NYC and showed his tape the same day in a night club. We noticed that Wegman is using Facebook and David Lynch is using Twitter, etc.johniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077684126848079122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452778081872252646.post-70495698546929045782010-10-22T20:52:04.378-07:002010-10-22T20:52:04.378-07:00It is always fun to see artists utilizing more and...It is always fun to see artists utilizing more and more of the available technology. As a computer scientist, i always think about art as paintings and scriptures. But the time has changed, artists are not limited to the two crèche kind of art anymore. I like to see in the next ten years, what will happen to the art world. It probably will be pretty cool!Bytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097779700151443488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452778081872252646.post-19077555606472432010-10-22T20:50:17.673-07:002010-10-22T20:50:17.673-07:00I completely agree with your idea that technology ...I completely agree with your idea that technology and society are inter-connected with each other and work cohesively in our lives today. While society stimulates technology, technology improves society as well. <br /><br />However, as well as improving society, it is also important to realize that technology is not always considered a positive advancement. For instance, last week, when we discussed Web 2.0 in class, it seemed as though technology is gradually becoming more accessible and being utilized for false purposes. The accessibility of Web 2.0 has helped people invade others privacy, through social networks, such as Facebook. Keeping in mind that technology is eternal and will keep progressing in the future, imagine what Web 3.0 will be like! It will probably destroy our world and soon we will be taken over by robots! :)Anam Shahidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069172663205003679noreply@blogger.com
