What is art and technology about? Seems interesting.

First day of class was a success! I didn't really know what this class was going to be like, but when Professor starting talking about 3D printing my ears perked up. I am excited to see what we learn and work on this semester. Also the final performance piece also sounds like a lot of fun. I think I have already got an idea of what I want to do. 

As far as what art and technology means? I think it would be impossible to describe one without the other. When I first think of art the first thing that comes to mind is paintings and museums. But art could be anything. Art is generally part of the physical world and its creation involves interacting with or acting on that world. Technology on the other hand is any man made tool. First thing that I think of is a computer, but a pencil is technology as well! As technologies expand, the possibilities for art expand.
