20世纪80年代,美国艺术家、艺术史家玛戈特·洛夫乔伊教授着眼于科技对艺术领域的影响,对一系列数字媒介进行试验,她的作品被形容为“融入了社会批判的诗性隐喻”。她所著的《数字潮流:电子时代的艺术》(Digital Currents:Art in the Electronic Age)以科技发展与审美变迁之间的关系为主线,记叙了自文艺复兴以来艺术领域内由科技创新和突破所带来的数次重大革命,并以独特的视角审视了科技发展对于艺术媒介的变革性影响。

In the 1980s,Margot Lovejoy,an American artist and art historian,focused on the impact of technology on the art field and experimented with a series of digital media.Her works were described as“poetic metaphors integrated with social criticism”.Taking the relationship between the development of science and technology and the changes of beauty appreciation as the main line,her work Digital Currents:Art in the Electronic Age narrates the several significant revolutions brought by the innovation and breakthrough of science and technology in the field of art since the Renaissance,and looks at the transformative effect on art media brought by the development of science and technology in a unique perspective.
