大学艺术系的Art & Technology专业
An emphasis in Art & Technology allows students to focus on the creative use and investigation of technology in an art-making practice. Students engage the meaning and material of science and technology through the production of interactive installations, electronic objects and interfaces, moving images, 3D modeling and animation, art games, tactical media, bio-art, performance, digital imaging, rapid prototyping, holography, Internet art, sound, and emerging forms. Students in this emphasis area discover an individual aesthetic and artistic vision through conceptualization, theory, and an awareness of history that critically engages the use of advanced science and technology. Students are encouraged to consider content, contexts, and approaches that may not fit within traditional definitions of art or display venues. Advanced technologies are explored as creative tools and as agents, which can lead to the production of new meaning, ideas, and artistic invention, all central to contemporary art.

Whether art imitates life or life imitates art, technology plays a prominent role in the modern forms of both things. Technology is an increasingly pervasive part of our lives, and it's having a growing impact on the art world.
技术在我们的生活中越来越普遍，对艺术的影响也越来越大。
Read the passage and compare your ideas with those of the author.
While-reading
Think “art”. What comes to your mind Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum Or maybe, just maybe, it's a dancing pattern of lights
Para. 1
Main idea: What comes to your mind when you think of art
Put forward a topic
Para. 2
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up at night. Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it, they could also interact with it—literally. They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art
Main idea: Are the artworks by Jane Echelman really art
What does this artwork look like
Para. 3
Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies.
Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
Main idea: Art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
Para. 4
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. Take for example one of China’s most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it. Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time to spend taking in its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. Three-dimensional (3D) animation means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings. They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
Main idea: Today art and technology have been combined together.
Now art is more accessible to us than ever before.
Para. 5
The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people are exploring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
Main idea: The art-tech combination is changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”.
How
Para. 6
However, the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called “art”
Main idea: Questions over artworks' overall quality have been raised.
Introduce a new opinion
Para. 7
Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists’ tools really call themselves an “artist” And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it A recent project used technology and data in the same way that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes. The end result, printed in 3D, was a new “Rembrandt painting” created 347 years after the artist’s death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than humans create art.
Main idea: Developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct.
Para. 8
Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. But one thing is for sure — with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
Main idea: We can expect the unexpected with many artists exploring new possibilities.
The author’s attitude
Organize the structure of the passage.
Part 1
Para. 1-3 Art and technology have always been seen as two separate things for long.
Part 2
Para. 4-5 Technological advances have brought about positive effects on art.
Part 3

2. Do you know of any artworks created mainly by technology Share an example with the class.
Think and share.
An American artist Kim Keever devised a method in which he drizzles paint into a 200-gallon fish tank, creating some magnificent effects before taking photos of the colorful chemical reactions.
3. What work of art can you create with the help of
technology
Students' own answers.
4. Which of the two reading passages in this unit, both
about the artists' inspiration, do you prefer Why
Students' own answers.
Think and share.
Work in groups. Hold a debate on whether technology has had a positive effect.
