by Douglas Davis

Art in America, Jan. 1968, v. 56, no. 1, pp. 29-37

An article about the symbiotic relationship between art and technology. Author Douglas Davis posits that 'technology has always left its imprint upon art', citing its affect in art materials since the development of pigment. He goes on to relate technology to the process of making, not just the material. Davis goes on to summarize contemporary artists practices of the era working with, about and because of technology, such as Les Levine, Soroku Toyoshima, John Whitney and Norman Zammitt.
