A joint production of the San Jose Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of
American Art, this site examines the interplay of technological advances
and American art over the past 30 years. The site is "arranged into three
thematic sections, each one exploring a significant aspect of the role that
industry and technology have played in postwar American art." Industry and
Consequence features works that explore the impact of mechanization and
industry on society. Challenging Perceptions looks at artists who have
abandoned traditional materials in favor of new technological devices.
Message and Narrative focuses on artists' use of found objects combined
with video and digital media. Users may examine each gallery individually
or take a guided tour with RealAudio narration, enlarged photos, and texts.
