Robotics + Art
New technological advancements allow new ways of creation in society and more specifically, in art. In this week's lecture, we explored some of the history of technology in art. Professor discussed the printing press which Gutenberg took credit for but was created by the Chinese. The birth of the printing press was one of the major turning points for mechanization and industrialization having a part in the distribution of art. The printing press allowed news, books, and even scientific findings to be dispersed quickly to large amounts of people spreading knowledge like nothing seen before. From lecture, I really came to understand the impact that the printing press had on the spread of art.
