Information About Art and Technology

When looking for information about art and technology it usually includes research of other artists and ideas or how to find a job in this field. Technology in The Arts is a good place to look for this information as this website has many resources for art technology. This website is credible but it is not as good as a source of information as http://www.i-dat.org/research/. I-dat is a university research project exploring interdisciplinary subjects such as art, design, technology, science and architecture at Plymouth University, UK. I-dat is a good source of information about research using technology within art to change culture or influence culture. At University of California, Santa Barbara a research project called CREATE has a laboratory for research and development of a new software and hardware tools to aid in media-based composition. CREATE's goal is to aide in the highest possible level of artistic and technological capability. Research is also being done at University of California Santa Barbara in their Media Art's and Technology graduate program. MAT Labs is a reliable source of information when looking for research concerning media art and technology. MAT Projects is a website that displays all of the projects currently being worked on at UCSB's Media Art and Technology.

Art is not usually looked upon as "science" and art is underground, contemporary, modern and historical, therefore when searching for research or websites concerning art technology one should carefully consider the context of the website. The website Free Art and Technology is a public website where everyone can post and find information. This website is not as a reliable source for research information as the websites listed previously because you do not know exactly who posted the information. The research university websites however, are very credible sources of information because they are research universities.
