Art is the expression of the Beauty in all its dimensions and possibilities. Critics say there is beautiful art and not-beautiful art. I say art is beautiful or it isn’t. When art creates something  new, never seen, never heard, and beautiful, the effect is wonder. Its word origin both in Latin, ars, and in Classical Greek, téchne, means creativity, something that has to do with  the human possibility to create, led by the original thinking.

Benjamin saw that technological innovation could move in two opposing directions: it could be used revolutionary sense, but could also be potentially destructive, depending on how it was used. This is even more valid today in the age of digital technology.

We want just to show how ArTech could be used in a positive sense and, why not, educational, I mean,  able to shape the personality of  growing people, because, if you see beautiful things everywhere, you feel better and your mind can think pink.

The Russian writer F. Dostojevskj asked : “Will  Beauty save the world?”. 

Maybe the answer depends on our inner sight, on what we can see and how we can see beyond the boundaries of the reality, as it appears. Roy Ascott, helps us reflect about art, technology and counsciousness.

We hate to have to crack open our laptops just to see if there is any wi-fi internet access about… and keychain wi-fi detectors, we would have to actually remove them from our pockets to look at them. But now thanks to the ingenious ThinkGeek robot monkeys you can display the current wi-fi signal strength to yourself and everyone around you with this stylish Wi-Fi Detector Shirt. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates. Finally you can get the attention you deserve as others bow to you as their reverential wi-fi god, while geeky chicks swoon at your presence. You can thank us later.

Hello teachers from the world! Today it is very important to celebrate and share your feast together with your students ’cause education is the engine of our brains. Educated people can think better and teachers as media educators help people think critically. That’s the new revolution to build the true democracy. Do you agree with me?
