We will be looking into the overview of critical implication of techniology in art and design. What are the implications of technology on your design area!?
Technological conditions do not just have an effect on materialism. They affect how we think and operate as a society, this affects how we behave and how it will change us
Walter Benjamin claimed that when you copy an image that then becomes a copy of the oringinal work, however that is still a copy of the main work but still the essence is there and its a piece of work in its own right,
Its hard to then tell whos work is the original once everyone starts to copy of each other, this becomes even more difficult when you start to look at artists work when they repliceate there own work and use them as repeat patterns...
Machine Age: Modernism.
Technology is parallel to new developments, the spirit of the age is dictated by technology and its use in art and design.
The only way to understand the idea of "original" is that only the art work created by technology and photography, sometimes these have been classed as the originals ... Benjamin Waleters calls these the "aura"
Freud explores the istinctual side of human behaviour . Marx brings about the understanding that techonolgy affects the value of the work of art as its no longer the only one out there. Marx foresore that labour and production through industrail revolution would naturally lead to a bigger consumption of art and design.
Photography destabilises in a similar way to postmodernism.
Frued explores technology in terms of how it can affect our subconscious - this is how we ended up with surrealism
One thing that came shortly afterwards with photography is Kineticism - the study of movement
Also with photography comes the dematerialisation of art and design. We dont necessarrily have to deal with an object at all!
