Modern artists and philosophers have envisioned the technologically advanced world either as a utopian dream-world or as a nightmare of total dehumanization. In this seminar we will examine critical theories of technology and cultural practices of artists dealing with modern technological innovations. The time frame for our inquiry is from the late nineteenth to late twentieth century. We will first explore theories of the avant-garde, modernism, and culture industry, and philosophical critiques of technology and instrumental/technical reason. We will then investigate how avant-garde and modernist artists (later, neo-avant-garde and postmodernist artists) have challenged, appropriated, or incorportated technology and new media.
