The art scene turning into an increasingly tech- and asset-driven world

Art and technology have consistently interacted at varying levels of presence throughout history. Every step of the way, technology has produced new mediums, tools, and themes to expand the creative expression of artists. However, it is often observed that in contemporary works of art that employ new technology, excessive praise for technical components given during the creation or presentation of the artwork risks overshadowing the discursive essence of the artwork. In addition, complete reliance on technological means poses a threat to preserving such works of art in the event of technological decline. This paper examines the potential issues that arise when we heavily rely on technology to produce art.
