Reading Response 4 

 

All three authors share a common appreciation for technology and believe that technology will or already has inspired a new art movement. However, their views on how art should be used in correlation with technology was interesting. In Marinetti’s case he believed that the future of art and media should reflect the advancements in human technology. Artwork and writing should be energetic, aggressive and loud just like the car that he drove into a ditch. Rodchenko struck down the idea that technology would be the death of art and people alienating them into different categories, instead he argued both mediums should be used together in order to experiment and innovate. Lastly Lissitzky mainly used observation to depict that technology has made great feats to advance art media. He uses examples to say that technology and art go hand in hand just like symbols and letters in writing and space and time. All three authors agree that in the 20th century art presents itself in new forms and how that art is commonly experienced in that era will change. In this sense these texts are relevant to the present because technology has advanced far and art is enjoyed in new ways. Just as Marinetti has stated, museums and libraries are demolished. With the age of internet the information we can attain is slowly making things such as museums and libraries irrelevant. 

 

Second Draft — Update

 

All three authors share a common appreciation for technology and believe that technology will or already has inspired a new art movement. However, their views on how art should be used in correlation with technology were interesting. In Marinetti’s case, he believed that the future of art and media should reflect the advancements in human technology. Artwork and writing should be energetic, aggressive and loud, just like the car that he drove into a ditch. Rodchenko struck down the idea that technology would be the death of art and people alienating them into different categories, instead he argued both mediums should be used together in order to experiment and innovate. Last, Lissitzky mainly used observation to depict that technology has made brilliant feats to advance art media. He uses examples to say that technology and art go hand in hand, just like symbols and letters in writing and space and time. All three authors agree that, in the 20th century, art presents itself in alternative forms and how that art is consumed in that era will change. In this sense, these texts apply to the present because technology has advanced and art is enjoyed in new ways. Just as Marinetti has stated, museums and libraries are demolished. With the age of internet, the information we can attain is slowly making things such as museums and libraries irrelevant.
