By acknowledging the ways in which certain artworks may not align with the arguments presented in the essay, viewers are encouraged to adopt a more expansive approach to interpreting contemporary art.

Looking beyond the scope of the essay allows viewers to encounter artworks that challenge, disrupt, and expand the boundaries of contemporary art practice.
June 14, 2024 at 6:40 PM
As viewers engage with artworks that diverge from the themes outlined in this essay, they are invited to reflect on the diverse ways in which artists navigate and respond to the complexities of technology and its impact on society.
June 14, 2024 at 6:40 PM
For example, artists may explore themes such as surveillance or data privacy, challenging narratives of technological progress.
June 14, 2024 at 6:39 PM
Furthermore, artworks that critique the pervasive influence of technology in contemporary society may offer alternative perspectives that diverge from the arguments presented in this essay.

There will always be new technologies that can be implemented into the contemporary art world, but the old historical artistic practices can only be forgotten.
June 14, 2024 at 6:38 PM
I find this very crucial because I think it is more important to emphasizing continuity with historical artistic practices rather than embracing the latest technological trends.
June 14, 2024 at 6:37 PM
Some artists may deliberately not use digital technologies in their practice, choosing to work with analog tools and materials. I find this very fascinating when the artists go back to ancient art techniques in order to preserve them in modern times.

While one essay primarily discusses the impact of technology on contemporary art practices, it didn't directly resonate with artworks that I saw.

Contemporary art serves as a site of resistance, resilience, and reimagination, offering glimpses of alternative futures and possibilities amidst the complexities of the present moment.
June 14, 2024 at 6:29 PM
As viewers encounter artworks that address these themes, they are prompted to consider their own roles and responsibilities in shaping the world around them.
June 14, 2024 at 6:29 PM
Through their art, artists navigate the complexities of contemporary existence, offering nuanced reflections on the challenges and opportunities presented by globalization.
June 14, 2024 at 6:29 PM
Contemporary art like this can serve as a mirror to society, reflecting the complexities and contradictions of the modern world.
June 14, 2024 at 6:29 PM
Also through their art, artists may critique systems of oppression and discrimination, calling attention to the intersections of identity and power in society.
June 14, 2024 at 6:29 PM
As viewers engage with artworks that explore these themes, they are invited to reflect on their own identities, experiences, and positions.

The essay I read brought up the interconnectedness of global cultures and I think that this artwork really highlighted the issues our country has when it comes to being globally connected.

As I continued reading, I learned more about this tragedy that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise and it was presented in a beautiful way, despite the horrible events that took place.

The artwork was made of flowers and created a silhouette of a nuclear bomb. I never got a picture of it, but I remember being very fascinated with this art piece.
June 14, 2024 at 6:28 PM
However, I did see a piece in the Hamilton building that brought attention to the nuclear testing that was done on native islands by the USA.
June 14, 2024 at 6:28 PM
Out of the works that I saw, I found it hard to relate these themes because many of the works I saw were very historical without themes of globalization.
June 14, 2024 at 6:28 PM
The essays I read dive into the landscape of contemporary art, touching upon themes like globalization and cultural exchange to technology and identity politics.
