Poetic Technology
This paper talks about google glass, wearable technology, which tried to make humans cyborg-human. The failure of google glass shows that it could not be the best solution so far. The sociologist Anne Galloway’s critics, identify AR as a tool for daily living and social interaction as not enough. Even though Google glass seems to provide a futuristic vision of immersive digital life, there is still unambiguous of how does the technology help human to combat such a digital world coming. What would be the future people living a cyborg human life? There are still many to consider.
In this article, I am interested in the point that art has more open interaction methods than modern technology. A specific pattern does not fix both the physical and software interfaces, and the artist tries to play different roles and make multiply platform as the playground.
There are two ways for an artist to combine technology with their work. One is providing experience and does not care about the actual product. The other is trying to add some flavors to the pieces and combat technology with their real artwork.
Finally, the author concludes that the artist needs a logical step to treat the digital space as an object and add poetic values to go beyond the screen.
