Art mirrors life; life returns the favor. How could nineteenth and twentieth century technologies foster both the change in the world view generally called 'postmodernism' and the development of new art forms? Scholar and curator Faye Ran shows how interactions of art and technology led to cultural changes and the evolution of Installation art as a genre unto itself – a fascinating hybrid of expanded sculpture in terms of context, site, and environment, and expanded theatre in terms of performer, performance, and public.
