Technology: Art, Fairs And Theatre

Essay by Petran Kockelkoren.

Throughout history, developments in technology have impacted and transformed the limits of the human sensorium, from the camera obscura to the stereoscope to the multimedia apparatuses of today. In the perspective paintings of the Renaissance, the "train sickness" works of the nineteenth century, and the helicopter view of modern times, artists prove their role as catalysts of the new, as pioneers who, through their incorporation and conscious absorption of new technologies, subtly mediate their introduction into the general consciousness. Technology: Art, Fairs And Theatre takes a broad look at this phenomenon, and shows how science and art have always walked hand in hand.
