TechART


Once again it is time for a new blog about the influence technology has on our society!!!
This time I would like to talk about the connection of art and technology and how both of these elements are used by artists to create a new type of style.

Apparently the art of the future will be called a hybrid - using the latest achievements of science and technology. Models of the hybrid art develop in different genres and disciplines, using the achievements of biology, physics, informatics, research in artificial intelligence and information visualization.

Hybrid art is going  beyond the scope of various art genres, it combines art and scientific research, social and political orientation, Pop culture. The boundaries between painting, sculpture, installations, films and performances are more and more blurred. There are new directions: Media Architecture, Geospatial storytelling, the use of robotics and artificial life.

In order to get a feel for the new stream of creativity I will show some interesting example by different artists.

One of the most famous representatives of the fusion of art - James Tarell - an artist working with light and space. Tarell has a degree in experimental psychology and his work - this is an interdisciplinary one, a hybrid design that combines the psychology of perception, the physics of light and art.


Among the other artists working with light - Leo Villareal. His works are reminiscent of the meteor rain, starry sky and sunset the sun's rays. This light-actor likes to say that his art depends on the technology, but not solely to it.



Chris Levine - another light artist, best known for the first holographic portrait of Elizabeth II, with which he attempted to reconcile tradition and modernity. The artist has worked for various clients from jewelers Swarovski (which created the world's largest crystal) to the British Council (installed in the Tokyo office).



Holographic images are fruitfully engaged in the project Musion. Camaya known for their work related to the appearance of animated characters as Gorillaz on stage.
