ART & TECHNOLOGY

Think “art”．What comes to your mind①？ Is it Greek② or Roman sculptures in the Louvre，or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum？Or maybe，just maybe，it's a dancing pattern③ of lights？

The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up④ at night.Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it，they could also interact with it—literally⑤.They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns.Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting，but are they really art？

[1]Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years.To do this，they have used a variety of tools and technologies.Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled⑥ as “artists” rather than “technicians⑦”．This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate⑧ things.

[1]Whatever your opinion为状语从句的省略，补充完整为 Whatever your opinion is。

Today，however，technological advances have led to a combination of⑨ art and technology.As a result，the art world is

艺术与科技

想到“艺术”，什么会浮现在你的脑海里呢？是卢浮宫里希腊或罗马的雕塑，或者是故宫博物院里的中国画？或者也许，仅仅是也许，是一片舞动的光影？

美国艺术家珍妮特·艾克曼的艺术品在夜晚被照亮时，就像是色彩斑斓的浮云。游客在参观她在温哥华的其中一件艺术品时，不仅能欣赏它，还能与之互动，是真的互动。他们通过使用手机改变它的颜色和图案来实现互动。这样的展品无疑是新颖的，也是令人兴奋的，但它们真的是艺术吗？

无论你的看法如何，数千年来人们一直通过艺术来表达他们的思想。为此，人们使用了各种各样的工具和科技。然而米开朗基罗等人被贴上了“艺术家”的标签，而非“巧匠”，这意味着艺术和科技一直都被视作是两个截然不同的东西。

然而，如今科技的进步使得艺术与之相融合。因此，艺术界正在发生巨大的变

səb(ə)l]adj.可接近的，可使用的；易懂的

be accessible to...为……所接触/使用/了解

⑪take...for example(＝take...as an example) 以……为例

⑫take in 去看，观看(电影等)

⑬animation[ˌænɪ'meɪʃ(ə)n]n.[U](指电影、录像、电脑游戏的) 动画制作；活力；[C]动画片

⑭interact with...与……互动

⑮surroundings[sə'raʊndɪz]n.[pl.]周围的事物，环境

⑯at one's fingertips 近在手边，随时可用

⑰raise questions引起质疑

raise vt.[熟词生义]引起，导致，使出现

changing greatly.Now art is more accessible⑩ to us than ever before.Take for example⑪ one of China's most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty，Along the River During the Qingming Festival.[2]As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it.[3]Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time to spend taking in⑫ its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing.Thanks to technology however，millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting.Three­dimensional(3D) animation⑬ means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with⑭ their surroundings⑮.They can also watch [4]as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.

[2]此处为as引导的原因状语从句。

[3]此处为once引导的时间状语从句的省略，补充完整为 Once they are in front of the painting。

[4]此处为as引导的时间状语从句，as意为“当……时候”。

The art­tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”．Not only can we interact with art，but also take part in its creation.With new technological tools at our fingertips⑯，more and more people are exploring their creative sides.The result has been exciting new art forms，such as digital paintings and videos.

However，the increase in the amount

化。现在，我们比以往任何时候都更容易接触到艺术。以中国最著名的画作之一，宋朝的《清明上河图》为例，因为这幅画作很少展出，所以人们曾排6小时的长队去一睹其真容。当站在画前的时候，人们只有有限的时间来欣赏这幅长5米，描绘汴京汴河两岸场景的画卷。不过，由于科技的发展，已有数百万人得以欣赏这幅画的数字版本。3D动画意味着观赏者可以看到画中人物四处走动，与周围的事物互动，还能看到从白天到夜晚不同场景的变化。

艺术与科技的融合也正在改变我们对“艺术”和“艺术家”这两个概念的理解。我们不仅可以与艺术互动，还可以参与艺术创作。通过触手可及的新技术工具，越来越多的人在探索自己的创造力，数字绘画、视频等激动人心的新型艺术形式应运而生。

不过，由此产生的艺术品数量和种类的增加也引起了(人们) 对其整体质量的质疑。慢动作播放的某人切西红柿的视频真的能被称为“艺术”吗？

distinct[dɪ'stɪkt]adj.清晰的；明显不同的

be distinct from sth与某物截然不同

⑲anyone's/anybody's guess谁也拿不准的事

and variety of art produced has also raised questions⑰ over its overall quality.[5]Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called “art”？

[5]本句中slicing a tomato为现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰someone；played in slow motion为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰a video。

Similarly，such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct⑱.Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an “artist”？ And is the artist the creator of the art itself，or the maker of the technology behind it？A recent project used technology and data in the same way [6]that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes.[7]The end result，printed in 3D，was a new “Rembrandt painting” created 347 years after the artist's death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than humans create art.

[6]此处为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the same way。

[7]本句中printed in 3D和created 347 years...death均为过去分词短语作定语，分别修饰The end result和“Rembrandt painting”。

[8]Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess⑲.But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities，we can definitely expect the unexpected.

同样地，这样的发展正让艺术与科技之间的界限越发模糊。不熟悉传统艺术工具的人真的可以自称为“艺术家”吗？艺术家是艺术本身的创造者，还是艺术背后科技的创造者呢？最近的一个项目通过科技和数据手段，还原伦勃朗使用颜料和画笔的方式。最终，通过3D打印技术，在这位艺术家去世347年后，一幅全新的“伦勃朗画作”诞生了。这些进步也许正让我们更加接近一个由计算机而非人类创造艺术的时代。

接下来科技将把艺术带向何处，我们谁也说不准。但有一点是确定的——随着如此多的艺术家探索新的可能，我们完全可以期待预料之外的成果。
