Too Much Technology? Technophobia Versus Technophilia?
This talk will discuss differing and new relationships between artists/performers and their working methods and the tools they use. A focus will be placed on two extremes of the relationship between technology and society: technophobia and technophilia. Traditional creators are increasingly widening their practices and taking on new roles as artist-engineer, artisttechnician, or artist-scientist, and some have begun to work with artificial intelligence. Is there still a distinction between IETM Montréal 2007 22/32 artists and the tools they use? How are these new relationships and the approaches of both technophile and technophobe affecting traditional media, new forms, and contemporary audiences?
