The Place of High-Technology Art in the Contemporary Art Scene

In trying to determine the exact place of high-technology art in the contemporary scene, the author attempts to establish that there exists a certain coherence both on a technical and an aesthetic level between such different art forms as Light Art (lumino-kinetic and neon Light Art), laser and holographic art, video and computer art. Highlighting significant exhibitions and manifestations rather than individual research work by artists, the author assesses the role of technological art. Other contemporary art developments, such as modernism and postmodernism, and areas situated on the borderline of art are considered as valid expressions of our times.
