New technology has affected how art is produced and reproduced since the earliest days of civilization. It has affected how it moves, is accounted for, how it is exchanged, stored, collected, and who collects it. In some cases, this technology affects the structures that support art while in others it affects the content and craft of the artwork itself. In either case, the relationship between art and technology is a dynamic exchange. When that technology has a profound impact on broader society, reflecting this technology in the artwork allows the artwork to form a greater bond and relevance within this societal context.
