Dr. Hector Rodriguez: Art as Articulation: Media, Meaning & Technology 藝術的發聲和接合：媒體、意義、科技之間

Art liberates us from technology by liberating technology from whatever we already think it is. 
藝術將科技從我們已經認為的東西中解放出來，從而將我們從技術中解放出來。

Contemporary artists often borrow materials from outside of art, particularly from science and engineering. The use of these materials often gives rise to new artistic genres. Computer art, internet art, and bio-art are obvious examples. In some cases, the introduction of new technics into an established artistic practice triggers fundamental questions about its nature. The question of the place of the technical in art is in crisis. This situation calls on us to reflect on fundamental concepts and problems, particularly the question of the concept of the artistic medium and its relation to technology. This presentation will then propose a poetics of infrastructure, which calls for artists to rethink the medium in which they work by establishing circuits between the three levels: medium, vehicles, and infrastructure.
