Technology is the mortal enemy of art

We are living in a technological era where everything is shown through a screen, the latest news we used to read on a strip of paper is now on an app, we used to the socialize with people now we don’t even have to go out we can sit from the comforts of our house and see them through a camera. And now we relax by looking at a screen however, this quote from Add to Rodchenko manifesto explains what has happened to art through technology, “preciously engineers relaxed with art no artist relax with technology” even though this quote has a negative look on technology , technology has helped evolved art.
if we didn’t have technology it would be very hard to show our work with the world, with technology it is now easy to gain an audience and share our experiences, however even though technology can help us connect with art from all around the world, it can consume us.
If we think about it we live our lives through a glass screen always interested in someone else’s life and wondering how many posts we have got on that status we posted an hour ago, technology is amazing in some way although it is also our enemy as somehow we are all glues to a screen. These days not many appreciate art because they don’t take long enough to look up from their screens thus we have been sucked into a technological era that we cant stop we just have to stick the course and evolve with it just like many art forms have.
