Visual Arts and How it is Reshaped by Technology

Technology has always proven to be helpful in visual art in many instances. Designs and creations are easily done with tools and other applications readily available on the web. 3D animations created vivid characters in most of the TV shows which indirectly reshaped cosplay costumes, props, and gadgets.

Missed an episode of your favorite TV series or would want to watch a rerun of it? Not to worry, you can easily watch films and TV series through the web. You can also have your own copy of it by downloading it from the web such as the Uzalo video download.

These are just among the many perks that technology has to offer that even visual artists integrate technology in their creations to keep up with the changing times to give and show a fresh new perspective on visual arts.

How Technology Changed the Way Art is Made

Dmitry Morozov invented a mechanism that changes dirty air into art. The mechanism he constructed had sensors that measure usual impurities in the air such as dust and carbon monoxide. These sensors then transform the data they collected into volts and a calculating apparatus converts those volts into figures, hues, and colors generating a moving picture of pollution. Morozov’s device then snatches motionless or static images from the moving picture and prints them out, the filthier the air the vibrant the picture or photo. Morozov’s intention of developing such device may also be to spread awareness on air pollution.

Presented in an exhibit in Barbican Centre in London entitled “Digital Revolution”, an art creation that needs human interaction was technologically advanced by a group named Minimaforms. Their creation was envisioned to offer a preview of the future when machines or even synthetic or simulated pets will be capable to read human moods and respond to it. Interacting with their creation gives you a “Petting Zoo” experience, but rather than stroking or snuggling adorable wooly bunnies, you become comfortable with tubes looking like snakes dangling from the ceiling. These tubes are very responsive and receptive. They curve, move, bend and alter hues and colors based on how they read the actions, sound, and touch. They can retract or recoil timidly when detecting a big group approaching, can become endearing when sensing affection or fondness, and they could also seem bored when no movement, sound or touch is detected.

It is a fact that for a very long time, technology has been offering artists with different, fresh, and new methods and techniques to express themselves. And for many years, technology and art have become more interrelated or unified that technology redesigns art in extraordinary ways and means. Whether it is to deliver or offer innovative ways to combine or blend diverse forms of art mediums and media, to permit art to have more human or social interaction, or to just basically make the method or means of art creation simpler and easier.
