The Inaugral Tsinghua Alumni London Art Exhibition. Nancy Zetian Zhang x UKTA.
At a time when technology has penetrated every aspect of our daily existence, it transforms itself from the tools of our craft into a pervasive force of human experience, affecting the way we see and feel, the way we create and interact and come to terms with beauty. The digital age raises crucial questions about the nature of art and its role within society. How does technology affect our sense of beauty? What new forms does it bring to creativity?
The way technological innovation both guides and is inspired by artistic endeavour is a major theme of the exhibition Ubiquitous Technology: The Science of Aesthetics. Art has always reflected and engaged with the technological environment of the time, from the use of perspective in Renaissance painting to the use of industrial materials in modern sculpture. Every technological advance has provided artists with new ways of expressing themselves and new ways of challenging existing paradigms.
Amid the ubiquity of technological culture nowadays, artists are invited to explore ideas previously beyond their reach. Digital media, interactive installations and virtual realities offer an unprecedented range of avenues for artistic expression. These mediums allow for a dynamic interaction between artwork and viewer- in which the viewer becomes an active participant. Such interactive experiences raise questions about the position of the observer, the essence of what it means to be art, and the nature of human connection in a digital age.
