Barrera entre la tecnología y el arte digital.

...

This separation and ignorance about both concepts become any definition of art or technology completely meaningless, even more if we consider the notable existing separation between these disciplines, which communication is almost inconceivable since only some years after World War, just as noticed by C.P. Snow’s The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution [3], making a debate about how thinkers researchers on both sides fight each other for an intelectual superiority. Truth is, artists are afraid of being engineers, and engineers are afraid of being artists, causing even now as a society, we can’t tell where art or science can leads us to, being only spectators of the progress and developments we’re not capable to discuss about.

We all pretend to be goddess, thinking ourselves as indispensable particles in the world: doctors, artists, researchers, lawyers, to name a few; we stop living as humans to become our career and our work, when they should only be a part of all that we have and are likely to be. We never agree on anything, and end up turning to see as inferior to those who doesn’t pursuit the same kind of knowledge. Also, there has been a detraction in the academic structure keeping off technology and humanities, quite the opposite to what Josu Rekalde, ACC: Arte Ciencia y Ciudad International Congress [4] codirector says, emphasizing the rational nature and, above all, not abstract between the two disciplines, and the will to use it for the public.

It is true that the acceptance of digital art as an adequate art form is a topic with much controversy, criticism and fluidity [6], holding on to brand new standards, different to traditional art, but in the way it’s possible to exist a reconfiguration of the society through scientific knowledge, it will be feasible as well to face this new branch of artistic execution as an internalization [7] of scientific logical reason, and vice versa. I honestly believe for myself, that there aren’t two disciplines that could agree more than art and science, but it’s our duty as society to realize and bring to reality the terms of that agreement.
