One of the powers of art is that it is always developing. Art never stops moving and changing and gains from every single artist and from every single event that is happening. 

The developments in computer technology, communications and imaging have had a huge impact on the arts. It has made it possible to take advantage of new equipment for new mediums. Things like photography have made art easier than in the past and we now have a different variety in colors that can make our photos stand out. 
Another improvement has been the convenience of measured gradients of paints. In the old days the artist would have to make their own paints, processing all that would be time consuming and hard to reproduce. All in all made technology it possible to create master pieces without the most intense skills or experiences.  

The first artist I choose is one that totally called my attention immediately. Sandy Skoglund, born in Quincy Massachusetts,  ( 11.September 1946)  american photographer and installation artist. She creates surrealist images by building elaborate sets or tableaux, furnishing them with carefully selected colored furniture and other objects, completes them with actors and finally photographs the set. Those pieces can take as long as a month or longer. One of her most-known photographs, entitled Radioactive Cats, features green-painted clay cats running amok in a gray kitchen.

My second artist is the british sculptor Stephen Taylor Woodrow who became popular with his “living paintings” exhibition. The paintings are part performance art, part trompe-l’oeil, part some kind of delayed-release Wildean dandyism. He always plays a part in his own installation paintings. He seems to stand freely inside the frames, covered in solid, monochrome paint from head to toe, moving slowly and through various poses of nineteenth-century official portraiture.

All these paintings from those two artists fit in the technology revolution theme I picked for my visual exhibit because they both used the new advantages trough the new equipment and mediums, if its 3D visual or the use of photography and computer technology. 

I picked those two artist because I think it is amazing to first get the idea to do works like that and how different every artist uses the new advantages as an addition to their own style.
