1 Art and Technology- A Timeline Dr. Gabriela Avram

2 This week We are talking about the relationshi between: Society and technology Art and technology How social, olitical and cultural values affect scientific research and technological innovation How these in turn affect society, olitics, art and culture

3 Digital Art (New Media Art) Digital art is an artistic work or ractice that uses digital technology as an essential art of the creative or resentation rocess.

The Moog Synthesizer may refer to any number of analog synthesizers designed by Robert Moog, and is commonly used as a generic term for oldergeneration analog music synthesizers.

13 The Moog Synthesizer may refer to any number of analog synthesizers designed by Robert Moog, and is commonly used as a generic term for oldergeneration analog music synthesizers. The Moog comany ioneered the commercial manufacture of modular voltagecontrolled analog synthesizer systems in the mid 1960s. The technological develoment that led to the creation of the Moog synthesizer was the invention of the transistor. htts://youtu.be/7eax45jlj4
