Philip Glahn

Tuesday's speaker at lecture was Philip Glahn. The concept Glahn spoke about was the critical relationship between art and technology. It is a bond that has been strong for quite some time now, and according to Glahn, can never be broken. He explains that when one does try to break away from technology in art, a de-skilling occurs. I thought his concepts were interesting, perhaps not presented in the most affective way for a group of tired freshman art students, nonetheless however he presented some very interesting concepts. I especially liked when Glahn explained that part of the tension between art and technology is the need for humans to feel individual and not machine, however we need to find the balance with technology to become masters of art.
