Technological Convergence in Art and Design

What if our life becomes fully dependent on the electronic devices in the future? “In Into the Electronic Millennium”, Birkerts discusses his concerns with the oncoming electronic world. Birkerts provides lots of cons about the electronic devices that can affect people's lives. The author’s intention for writing this essay is to make the audience aware of the significant changes that have started to occur as electronic technologies have developed. He uses various rhetorical devices to convey his arguments to the readers. Through this essay, he is trying to inform the academic community that the culture of printed words has ended in the society, while electronic technologies are starting to dominate. Birkerts uses anecdotes, juxtaposition,

The history of the graphic design is one of the most important pages in the evolution of our world. All periods and persons after the prehistory related with the visual communications are undoubtedly the builders of our advanced and technological communication in the present. It is impossible to not feel passionate to write about the Graphic design history however, one essay is not enough to write about the whole History of the Graphic Design, that is why the next pages will be written about one person who has an important place in the Graphic Design history, this essay will be written about Geoffroy Tory.

However, computer artists now see the importance of these works as they started a “new technologically-grounded aesthetic,”3 that would be an integral part of the development of art through computers.

My desire has always been to venture into the field of arts and design. In the process of exploring the right life and career path from the unprecedentedly prosperous diversification of art and design, I have realized that since we live in the era of digital technology innovation, the rising demand of “applied arts” (multimedia and industrial design) is far beyond the range of “traditional arts”(drawing, painting, sculpting, etc.) in our society. With this observation, I have made a decision to target one of the most recently emergent and burgeoning design discipline, human-centered interaction design, after making a comprehensive analysis of my

Richard Miller, a professor at Rutgers University, explains, “We now exist in a digitized world, and like a computer, we must keep updating our parts in order to keep up” (Miller 31).

Art is created and enjoyed by various individuals across the world for different reasons. An Artwork expands and extends our shared visual language and helps in developing new ways of seeing familiar things (Tomaž 29-32). It also assists in interpreting events and new situations through different perspectives. The values and focus of artwork in the new world are finding their footing and taking completely new directions. In the new world, there are echoes of artistic movement and postmodern tradition that is mainly considering originality over a technicality when it comes to artwork (Sooful 2). Today, especially with improved technology, artists have designed new artistic skills that facilitate them to develop an artwork that is highly skillful and unique at the same time. The field of artistic has greatly expounded and has accommodated individuals with varying skills that have significantly improved the artwork (Sooful 5). Here are the top 3

The document I chose to read spoke about the graphic design fundamentals, design fields, the process of designing graphics and the different careers you can pursue as a graphic designer. This article expressed the advancement of technology and how graphic designers must be fast-paced, eager and open to learning new things. Communication through visual presentation had become very important in our society today. Therefore, careers involving the creation of advertisements, posters, company logos, magazine covers and a variety of other products and graphics are on the rise and in demand. The graphic designer is, in a sense, in charge of thinking analytically to find, not one, but many solutions to a problem. Innovative people in this career field

Although Duchamp offers a plausible argument, I disagree with it because it is certainly possible that art works can still shock the audiences of today. For instance, in Thomas Hardy’s “The Convergence of the Twain” whenever the Titanic sinks, the luxuriousness of the Titanic shocks the fish in the ocean: “Dim moon-eyed fishes near/ Gaze at the gilded gear/ And query: ‘What does this vaingloriousness down here?’” (13-15). Just like the jewels, which the fish had never seen before, new art can still elicit a “shocking” reaction from audiences because humanity has not yet exhausted all the possible fresh ideas. Since the Modern Art Movement saw a complete refresh of art, audiences were definitely more shocked than they could be today. However,

People became addicted to searching and knowing new information because of the evolution of technology, this transformed people from being passive readers to becoming the designers and distributors of new information. Nowadays people are the both publishers and readers. They comment, reflect, and connect to other people’s work. All of the contributions of people through their new acquired technological skills have shaped technology to evolve based on their needs.

In today’s society, technology and art go hand in hand. Art has been around for a long time but technology such as computers are still very new. These two mediums have comingled and now evolve and effect the other. Art has changed to reflect the vast improvements technology has contributed to communication and the ability to create using digital space. Technology has also changed with artist pushing the boundaries of what is technical possible in the digital realm. Much of today’s art is created and presented in digital formats. The question of whether digital art is truly art has risen among many critics in the art community.

One may wonder how much did The Information Age really contribute to society and, more specifically, the visual arts, technology, and philosophy. The Information Age, as defined by Gloria K. Fiero, is “dominated by radical changes in the technology of communication and the way we receive and process information” (Fiero, 476). The Information Age paved the way for several brilliant artists to not only share their work, but create their work. Artists, such as Andy Warhol, expressed their artistic abilities in the most unimaginable, yet creative approaches. In the case of Andy Warhol, Warhol created pop art, which artistically expresses popular culture in means of creating a compelling commercial advertisement. Furthermore, in the realm of

In this technology-based day and age, a STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) job like graphic design is a great choice for prospective artists. Graphic design has evolved greatly over time, and today employs a myriad of people. After completing the necessary level of education, creative individuals make images to convey a message, and are paid well for their efforts. With experience, some even advance further in their career. Overall, graphic design is a fantastic career that combines art and technology, offering excellent opportunities for the future.

Meredith Davis’s book “Graphic Design Theory” was published in September 2012 by Thames & Hudson. This book blends a study of historical thinking of design with contemporary / modern approach to it. It also suggests students to critically analyse their work and asks them to adopt the design theories to embellish their practical design work as it will help them construct better work. This book also helps in understanding the consumers and the history of Graphic Design and also talks about a range of theories and introduces a collection of concepts and sources for future use and reference. In this book, Meredith Davis talks about the relationship of visual representation to the contexts of design. It talks about focusing on the broad and long term aftereffects of design and not to design only for the moment and responding to prompt needs.
