Reflecting on Technology and Artistic Practice: Facilitated Roundtable Discussions
1-Origins and Impact of Technology on Art-Making
Just how new is new media? "Pioneers" and more recent practitioners lead a discussion about such topics as roots of experiments using technology-based tools and methods, past and present conceptual frameworks, and theories about history, process and motivation. Can any tool change the nature or process of art-making? Co-facilitated by Terry Pender, Technical Director, Columbia University Computer Music Center; Erik Pihel, author of forthcoming Media Strains: The History of Poetry and Technology from Homer to Hip-Hop; and multimedia director, producer and curator Cynthia Goodman.
