DYNAMICS BETWEEN ART & TECHNOLOGY
Art & Technology
From the earliest moments of human history until the present and certainly into the future, the relationship between art and technology will be a dynamic one. Technology has directly impacted art forms such as architecture, photography, sculpture, and painting. Painting, sculpture, and architecture are much older art forms than photography, whose roots come from the latter portion of the 19th century. Nonetheless, each of these forms has changed technology and has been changed by technology. In numerous cases within each art form, technological developments in other industries, not related to art, influenced developments in each art respectively. The paper will discuss and consider connections between technology and art including culture and gender.
The great industrialization at the turn of the 20th century changed the world and every industry.

Technological advances in the plastic industries and with respect to digital technology made possible the emergence and continuous growth of photography as an art form.
In some cases, influences in one art form inspire changes in another. For example, advances in photographic technology are inspired by the art form of painting; in this way, development of software such as Photoshop helps make digital photographs more closely resemble paintings. Moreover in this case of photography and Photoshop, photographic technology influences another industry (software) and the software in turn influences many photographers and their photographic senses.
All these art forms have been greatly influenced by technology. Perhaps the evolution of photography due to technological influences is more prominent in the highly visual global culture of the 21st century. The world is much more aware of image and image production as much of the media we consume is visual and comes to us via various examples of technology. This does not mean that other art forms such as architecture, sculpture, and painting…
