Think "art".What comes to your mind？Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre，or Chinese paintings？Have you ever imagined it's a dancing pattern of lights？
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when lit up at night.Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally - by using their phones to change the colors and patterns.But are they really art？
Whatever your opinion，we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things.
Today，however，technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology，changing the art world greatly.Now art is more accessible to us.For example，people used to queue six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5-metre Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival.Thanks to technology，however，viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting，where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings.
The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of "art" and the "artist".Not only can we interact with art，but take part in its creation.With new technological tools at our fingertips，more people are exploring new art forms，such as digital paintings and videos.However，it has also raised questions over its overall quality.Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called "art"？
Similarly，such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct.Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an "artist"？And is the artist the creator of the art itself，or the maker of the technology behind it？
Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess.But one thing is for sure - with so many artists exploring new possibilities，we can definitely expect the unexpected.
