\tResponding to this week\u2019s reading I found the comparison of human engagement with art and technology to be the most intriguing part. It made me consider a lot of what we do is controlled by our devices and source of understanding. Especially the writing \u201c The Cybernetic Stance: My Process and Purpose\u201d by Roy Ascott he refers to the idea of how art and technology interact and what questions it brings. For example, he explains his theory of a paradox; the battle between living in the future and how objects (art) consist of time. I constantly find myself confused about the topic of art and how it plays a role in society. Obviously, because of the new age of art, the resources and concepts have become further from the human hand stemming more into a theoretical understanding. Art traditional being created from tangible material seemed to be more realistic, whereas now art being created in a fictional realm seems alien, but is it that different? I wonder about the contradicting notions of art and technology; humans being the root of all things that demonstrate function but creating things that contain their own complex form of communication and language making them function without humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tAscott also mentions how to interpret art, even though I think it\u2019s impossible to trap the concept of art in a box, I always appreciate people\u2019s determination to try. He explains the context of the art and how the historical intentions of art have played a role in our motives. In a similar way, I feel that art could offer more if we comprehended the origins and meaning, but I remind myself how glorious art can be by allowing the freedom of self-interpretation. Whereas technology plays a more literal role because we don\u2019t need to question its function and it acts on our demands through programming. \t
