Abstract

In the present work, the potential of technologies as artistic tool and their impacts on artistic creation are examined. Specifically, the evolution of artistic tools is reviewed first, with a focus on how the limitations of tools have stimulated the imagination and emotional expression of artists. Subsequently, it analyzes how technology has transformed the role of artistic tools, from Duchamp's ready-made art to the application of digital technology, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, and has provided unprecedented possibilities for artistic creation. However, this change also brings challenges, such as the possibility that artists may overlook the deeper potential of tools in their pursuit of new tools and effects. Per the research findings, recommendations are proposed that artists should consciously utilize technological tools as a medium for expressing ideas and emotions rather than merely using them as a means for visual effects, and only in this way can technologies be better integrated with art to provide more possibilities for future artistic creation.
