How Technology and Artificial Intelligence Are Shaping Art

Art and technology have always intermingled throughout human history. In years past, oftentimes art would push the bounds of technology, but today, new technology is pushing the bounds of how artists are able to express themselves and develop their artistic vision. Artificial intelligence is one of those technologies that is allowing artists a tool like they've never had before – the ability to design something that creates art itself. Before we're able to look into technology as an artistic tool or medium, we have to examine just what it's done to the art world in general. Smartphones, the internet, Instagram – social tech – is drastically changing how the world engages with and reacts to art.
