dc.description.abstract(Not) Drawing The Line: Technology Re-examined is the culmination of interdisciplinary research exploring the nature of materiality and process in the fields of art, science, and technology. Exploration and experimentation in these diverse disciplines have helped to illuminate many of the ideas and concepts that have guided the overall research process. These explorations have also honed the ability to critically examine how technology is perceived and represented, post-internet.   This document illustrates the processes involved in the conception and creation of a body of work manifested through visual and technological problem solving, investigative research of materials and technologies, and the fundamental concerns of art, technology, form and pattern. These empirical areas of research are punctuated by literary texts on the philosophy of art and technology that have informed many of the visual comparisons represented. This body of evidence is an exploration of the idea that the evolution of technological developments can often be attributed to the creation of art through the heuristic experimentation and visual explorations of the artist.en
dc.description.abstractgeneral(Not) Drawing The Line: Technology Re-examined is the result of exploration and research in the areas of studio art, science, and technology. Many of the ideas and concepts presented in this documentation are a result of curiosity-driven research which uses materials and processes to help form connections across disciplines. In most examples, the materials used are common or familiar items such as the #2 pencil, reflective surfaces such as a mirror, or clay used for ceramics. The intention behind the work documented in this thesis is to help the viewer look at these everyday materials in a different way than their common use suggests through visual comparisons and wordplay. Its goal is to suggest that a new use or discovery may be presented in common materials and that solutions to complicated problems could be found right under our noses, so to speak. at its core, it is a commentary on technology, its uses, and perceptions during our current, post-internet place in historyen
