ART & TECHNOLOGY

at the Getty Center

 

The making of art has always been impacted by the limitations and advances of the technologies at hand. Throughout human history, artists have invariably embraced technological innovations—from the casting of ancient bronzes to the invention of the tin paint tube to the printing of three-dimensional objects—and harnessed the new possibilities afforded by them. Art and technology are deeply intertwined; after all, the terms “technology” and “technique” are both derived from the Greek word techne, meaning “art” or “craft.” Technological developments spur artistic experimentation by extending the horizon of what is possible and by encouraging artists to consider traditional mediums in new ways and to explore new mediums altogether.

The theme of “Art & Technology” encompasses questions on manufacture and craft, process and invention, materiality and immateriality, and the digital and the virtual. How do indigenous epistemologies support or underpin alternative concepts and frameworks for understanding the relationship between art and technology? How do technologies move across cultures, and how are they transformed in the process? Applicants may also consider the connection between ancient technologies and contemporary practices, transcultural adaptations or evolutions in technology, implications of nonhuman systems of production, productive misuse by artists, and how technological advances have changed and challenged modes of viewership.
