Is there any serious relationship between artist and technology? Artists are using technology in their work by different ways. This will change the world faster and force people to think openly. Artist are getting closer to technology. Now a days artists collaborates with technological companies to represent their work using more advance ways like AR and VR. Art is combining with technology and things are becoming easier to achieve in physical form. Some of the examples are here through which we can find the answer of our question.
According to Lasseter : the art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.
Mimus is made by ATONATON Studio whose main moto is to invent better ways to interact with machines. Mimus is most advance form of robot that is enclosed in a glass.
It is a best example of collaboration between human and the robot. It is not like typical industrial robot that do same task throughout a day by following a set of programmed instructions. It is a robot that interacts with this world. It can explore and move according to live situation. Sensors are placed around the area of this robot which helps him to interact with those who want response. By seeing this robot I feel that this will change the mind of humans in all aspects.
Reverb provides us a 3D modeling tool on which we can make wearables that fits around our body. This tool uses the technology of computer vision, digital design, and digital fabrication which helps it to integrate with 3D printer which make these wearable immediately.
Tactum is a 3d mapping technology through which we can make wearables with the sense of touch. These wearable uses the technology of augmented modeling through which image is mapped on our body and reacts when we touch this image.
Hussain Chilean is a famous fashion designer. He collaborates with Intel to his spring 2017 runway show Room tone at Paris Fashion Week. Intel collaborates by making two types of wearables glasses and the belt. These are not ordinary wearables, visual projections transmit out from these accessories and show the biometric data sent from the connected accessories they were wearing.
Three type of data is collected by Intel glasses brain activity, heartbeat and breathing rate through sensors. All this data combine and show the stress in real time. This data send via Bluetooth to the belt that shows the visual display through the Pico projector on the wall while walk. All this is done by technology that give new life to fashion industry. This project is then go to design museum London for exhibition.
Hussain Chilean shares his journey as an outsider in a ted talk 2015. In this talk he describes about his life transitions as a designer. He discussed about different projects and temporary places that he uses for his work to display. He starts discussing his work on his life phases. Separation, value, displacement, isolation, speed, disembodiment, hybrids and transformation. By seeing all his work in video I feel he the real journey in his work starting from simple mail envelope dress to the last one in which he introduces the technology with clothes for automatic transformation. He express his feelings and each part of his life journey that can easily understandable.
The Fiber Market is a research base project that is developed by Wieland Textiles and Valvan Baling Systems inn 2016. It is a machine that can separate clothes through the process of sorting. Like if we have to separate clothes material wise, color wise we have to touch it, feel it and after seeing the cloth carefully we can separate it. But it takes hours to separate 1000 clothes.
What if all this work is done by machine within short time. One thousand woolen sweaters are taken for exhibition named as Fear and Love for sorting and scan. After sorting results are verified by label on the sweater. At the end all sweaters are converted into fiber which then used in making something new.
Gordon Young uses typography in his work on big scale for communicate with people. A project named as comedy carpet based on famous dialogues of films that he has displayed in his work. Another famous project named as wall of wishes in which he asked about the wishes of the people and displayed all these wishes in his work on the wall.
This was a very beautiful project through which we can go closes to the heart of the people by reading these wishes. Another project that he has done with nation museum and galleries wales in which he has made benches with typo words. People come there and sits on the benches that are like machines. Which shows the interactivity of people with these machines.
In short we can say that technology and art are adopting each other and artist are giving shape in making this happen.
