Abstract
Artifacts and objects have a long history. They communicate value and meaning through being observed and studied, particularly in their original context insofar as this can be determined for very ancient artifacts. However, they clearly shaped the social and cultural environments within which they were first created, and those environments may also have played a key role in the artifacts and objects which were produced. The developments of the Renaissance brought a more systematic view of the world where created objects could serve a practical purpose as well as a cultural and aesthetic one. Developments in technology created a bridge between the real-world and artistic endeavor. Art and design have enjoyed a productive and symbiotic relationship with traditional art and design environments and also with technology. It has widened the scope of art and design and enabled it to develop new approaches and new perspectives. This has benefited an understanding of artistic and design processes and the various ways of implementing them. Collaboration between art, science, and technology is reviewed. Many forms of technology have been utilized in art and design, and these are summarized.
