Investigation of the Intersection of Art and Technology: Review Literature

Abstract

The concept of art and technology has moved out of the arena of theoretical debates into dynamic new media creations, making it an important topic of research for scholars in the fields of art, media arts, communication, cultural studies, history, and philosophy. The intersection of art and technology has been explored in various ways, from exploring its philosophical implications to examining the historical context of art practices in different digital mediums. This literature review provides an overview of the major trends and directions in the research of art and technology. The aim of this review is to provide insights into how this intersection is being studied, both in terms of the theoretical underpinnings of the relationship between art and technology, as well as the practical applications of the combination of these two fields. This study was conducted using secondary data, consisting primarily of journal articles and publications from reputable organizations in the field. Specifically, the approach used to identify specific topics and data sources included a literature review of current research, scholarly papers, and online sources. Our search methodology included using keywords pertinent to the research area, such as “art and technology”, “intersection”, and “innovation”, in order to find both related research articles and industry news sources. The data was collected from the sources, analyzed, and used to draw patterns and trends in the area of art and technology. Overall, it was concluded that art and technology have the potential to unlock new venues of artistic expression and provide opportunities to reach new audiences. The findings from this research have the potential to inform artists, curators, and viewers of the myriad creative possibilities of the art-technology intersection.
