Art with the Advent of Technology
Artist and Scholar Anna Niemetz presented the forefront of the modern display of Art. One such example of such work was the use of the Tesla Coil.
Though many other Artists have implemented technology using electricity for the graphic display of artwork. What made Niemet'z project unique and innovative was its complement of appealing electronics sounds that matched each spark created by the coil. As a result of such synchronous shocks, I was left wowed by both the visual and auditory beauty.
Another Example, of such Artwork, was the creation of a blue dress that had a shape similar to many polygons that are observed in various books, and other paintings. Within the edges of each polygon, were the stick like formations that protruded out of each of the edges within the dress, all at alternating times and depths. Such random and erratic motions within the woman's dress, offered a piece of artwork that not only demonstrated creative thought, but also work that really displayed what it meant for a piece of clothing to stand out. 
The Last and most relevant project related to modern technology, was her project regarding Drone technology. Before presenting her project, she spoke in length and cultural and political ramifications of the advent of drones. Next, she then presented pictures of drones on little tag like cloth works that lit up from led lights. The Juxtaposition of both led lighting and the sketch of a drone of cloth, has inspired me not not only think creatively using modern elements, but also perhaps using objects or concepts that I may think of subconsciously.
The main takeaway I received from her presentation was mainly regarding inspiration on creative work. I learned that in order for a piece of artwork to be considered modern as well as innovative, it cannot simply have modern elements, Rather it must use modern elements to produce a work that is unseen, just as both the dress and her own coil used.
