The development of technology has greatly affected the experience of art from both the artist's and viewer's standpoints. For artists, a whole new media has become available to work with. Digital photography has become a worldwide phenomenon, making a regular person into an artist. Blogging has also opened up an entire new dimension to art. The internet allows anyone to display their artwork with he click of a mouse. Thanks to the computer, people have the opportunity to enhance or change photographs to their liking.
Another great way technology has mediated the art experience is that more people than ever before have access to art. People around the world can go on their computer and view unlimited amounts of artwork of all varying genres. The development of technology has led to a development in art in that more things are considered art now. Because more things are considered art, more people are appreciating art and opening their eyes to new art forms.
I enjoyed our media experience because I learned a lot of new things. Since digital cameras have become common I am one of those people who carry their camera everywhere and take pictures of everything. This media project allowed me to utilize my digital camera skills by taking pictures, editing them, and then displaying them. I especially liked that we were all able to make stories out of our photographs. The most unique thing about art to me is that everyone can look at the same thing but come away with different ideas and opinions about it. Our media projects exemplified this because we all had stories about the anti-war protest but all of our projects came out so differently.
