With the 7th annual Philly Tech Week coming up (April 28–May 6), we're taking a look at a few examples of how technology has influenced the artistic process.

This work by Marianne Vierø is a 1:1 3D-printed replica of a historical sculpture by Naum Gabo in the Museum collection, titled “Construction in Space Two Cones of 1927/37,” as Gabo's sculpture appeared in 2014. Gabo was an early experimenter with plastics, and his sculpture was created using an early and unstable type of plastic called Rhodoid, which rapidly deteriorated. Vierø visited this work at the Museum and created a copy to meditate on the two works, their dialogue with time, and the uncertain future of Gabo’s original .

"Great Transformation, the Object--after Naum Gabo's 'Construction in Space Two Cones of 1927/37,' " 2014, by Marianne Vierø

This photograph by Thomas Ruff is from a larger series of works titled "jpegs," which were created by downloading images from the Internet or appropriating them from books and postcards, and then compressing them and blowing them up to monumental scales, thus enhancing the pixilation of each image. Ruff's process is itself a comment on the ubiquity of images in the digital world and the effect of technology on the photographic process.
