The Relationship Between Science And Technology

1155 Words5 Pages

1. Function and Meaning

When discussing science and technology in relation to art, it is essential to understand the nature and characteristics of these subjects and the interrelationships between them. Their definitions have changed greatly throughout the history and are still changing. Therefore, it is important to elaborate the meanings of the terms consistently used in this paper. For the past two centuries, art and science along with technology were perceived as two opposite poles. Art has been associated with freedom while science and technology were seen as a part of the necessary domain. Although, Wilson (2003) notes that the antinomy between art, science and technology is a false opposition. “An opposition cannot be set up between phenomena that are not of the same nature or, if you prefer, that are always complementary.” (Wilson, 2003, p. 321) And the idea that, in general, modern technology represents a danger and art represents that which might save has as well been obsolete for a while now. Francastel (2000) calls this point of view unfounded. “The rehabilitation of modern man through the arts, especially if such rehabilitation involves the systematization of forces that obscure the self, is an illusion.” !!!Manjka citat!
The meaning and definition of art are quite perplexing. Plentiful attempts have been made throughout the history of philosophy and aesthetics to define art on paper. It has lost its way, its clear path among the numerous dubious concepts. If

    Not only is he an innovative artist he has an analytical nature that led him to question artistic processes from history. His theories about the use of technology in aiding realistic painting give a different perspective of art history. Artists have always had strong opinions about the use of technology in aiding their artwork. Some do not see the art created as a pure expression of talent. If Hockney’s theories are correct they prove that technology has always been used.

  • The Trouble With (The Term) Art By Carolyn Dean

    791 Words  | 4 Pages

    While reading “The Trouble with (the Term) Art,” written by Carolyn Dean in the summer of 2006, we are taken through an array of different scenarios that lead us to questions what art really is. Dean explores the idea that the word “art” is used far too often and too habitually, and that as we study the non-Western cultures we need to use much more discretion regarding what we call the different pieces of their culture. Throughout the essay, Dean supports her thesis that we too often categorize non-Western pieces as art by using different examples of how certain non-art pieces were deemed as art throughout the course of their history. Dean does this by using four key examples of how these ancient pieces are inappropriately called art to successfully support her thesis and avoid biases.

  • Edmund Burke's Bitumen Traces The Sublime

    640 Words  | 3 Pages

    In The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, examining the shift from painting to an age of rapid reproduction of images and their increasing politicization, Walter Benjamin suggested that “The painter maintains in his work a natural distance from reality, the cameraman penetrates deeply into its web” (Benjamin XI). Benjamin’s idea is a helpful starting point for discussing some of the issues related to distance between artist and subject,, and the reader or viewer and artwork, in the two works. Benjamin’s statement bears verity in relation to “Bitumen”. For the speaker of “Bitumen”, the painters such as Friedrich and Turner work at a remove from reality, but this is precisely what the speaker identifies as problematic. The “natural distance” afforded to the painter separates them from the political implications of the depicted event as well as future action.

  • Technology: Technological Development, And The Evolution Of Technology

    721 Words  | 3 Pages

    Technology can be defined as “the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment”. (n.d.) Therefore, when we speak of technological evolution we can say that it is an “innovation and technology related hypothesis that describes the fundamental change of society through technical development”. Different theorists have their own perspective on the evolution of technology but, although each of their views differs from another, they shared certain common features, mechanism, and incidence in technology. Some theorists have developed distinct approaches to understanding the nature of the technological process and the relationship between technological development and the social world.

    This text is taken from a lecture that was given by William Morris about the importance of the arts. In this lecture he tries to convince his audience why the arts are beneficial and should be available to not only the wealthy but also ordinary people. He uses personification and imagery in order to make what he is saying more interesting, and also uses inclusive language to appeal to the whole audience. The first paragraph begins with the personification of Science; “And Science - we have loved her well, and followed her diligently, what will she do?”.
