| Abstract | |
ABSTRAT In this text, we investigate the emergence of the artistic practices designated by the term Art, Science and Technology (AST) in the United States and Europe. Usually recognized by the labels Digital or Technological Art, AST is an umbrella term that arguably includes artistic practices concerned with the adoption, theorization and diffusion of new postwar technologies. Nevertheless, we argue that it is the institutional configuration that best delimits the boundaries of AST. Through an investigation unconcerned with the legitimation of this production, we review the social and cultural context that made the AST possible. Regarding its relation with contemporary art, our results ascertain an isolated, highly specialized and mainly autonomous artistic practice. (AU) | |
