The Future ofArt

rom the oldest cave painting in El Castillo cave to the poems written by
F algorithms, art has been serving humanity.
Technology is making Art less of magic and more of science.
Art can be created without imagination all you need is re-production and
curation

TheFutureofArt

Technology is redening art in strange and new ways. Art galleries dont look
the same way
rtists always have new ways to look at familiar things and create visual
A form by using color, light and form. All those elements are now in the
hands of technology

Digital

Behavior of light and form, there is science behind it. Today's museums and
galleries are all about that.
New media and digital artwork done using various technologies -are used to
play with sound and vision -with complete focus on modern digital culture
One thing is true that digital art is limitless and the process of creating art is
getting easier. You can do it anywhere, anytime just carry your tablet with
you.
You dont need to get dirty with colors; and no need to clean those brushes.

Consumerism

Technology is constantly transforming our culture.


This new digital culture has less attention span. You need to capture their
attention by the use of technology.
Culture is also classied into many categories -pushing art distribution to
change constantly
With fast internet connection and mobility, art need to be mass produced quality and aesthetic are sacrices to gain speed and mass re-production

3DPrinting

TheFutureofArt

3DPrinting

While it is good that 3D printing can be used to restore stolen history


In the past, this disappearance meant items were lost forever, but this is not
true anymore.
Art, food and technology can be combined with latte art machine

VirtualReality

You enter into an empty room. With your motion and choices you build up
your artistic environment.
There is no gap between what you are imagining and what is getting created.
It is like creating reality out of your mental thoughts. But, once you get into it
you forget everything

Virtual Art Sessions: About Andrea Blasich

TheFutureofArt

Immersive & StoryTelling

Using massive computing, digital installations, 3D printing and wearable tech


you can interact with artwork.
More you play with them -story will unfold that wasnt there when you
entered in the rst place.
More of, watching a movie. If digital is to expand the expression of humanity
then you get an idea about the future of art.

Technological Singularity and Art ( 2050)

Technological Singularity will change humanity.


With material limitations, artistic expressions will emerge again with greater
imaginations
In the post-human future, technology will work with art to make us fully
understand what it means to be human.

Art Branding, Marketing & SocialMedia

For any artist, major branding medium is his website and how it inuences the
society
Digital presence is becoming a necessity to communicate on-line press
releases, promoting art events and other though leadership articles.
Social media is proven to be highly eective in reaching out to the art
community -enables artist and followers to engage directly.

TheFutureofArt

2050, Technological advancement will dissolve classications like


By painter, sculptor and photographer. The role of artists, architects,
designers will change. They will need to keep re-inventing themselves.
Boundary between art and non-art will dissolve. Museums will become
amusement parts and commercial centers
Computer Algorithms are already writing songs, movies and creating artwork.

Now banks are allowing the services through an API to access data generated
by their bank accounts. More and more banks will transition to become more
than a service provider. APIs across the banking industry will allow nancial
organizations to layer their oerings like building blocks all this made
possible by technology innovations
PSD2 ( Directive on Payment Services) and banking as a platform may just be
about the ability to access account data right now, but there is a lot to come
and you will see banks driving towards innovations and more exible, safer
and swifter payment for the consumers.

Blockchain has just one open central ledger system that is owned by
everybody, you can see your money and everything else about everyone else is
masked; and there is no need for banking related over-engineered system
Banks are already turning to the Blockchain in a big way.By adopting this
technology, the operating costs for banks for international payments can
come down by 33%. To reap such benets, various blockchain-related
startups are receiving great nancial commitment.

NoSoil,NoWater,NoSunlight:FutureofAgricultureandTechnology

We need to grow more, we need to grow crops more eciently, and we need

Drones & Self-driving Tractors / AgTech:


Agriculture Technology

Future of farming is all about technology. Precision agriculture is one of many


modern farming practices that make production more ecient.
Iseki, Yanmar and other Japanese manufacturers are also working on selfdriving tractors. IHI is developing technology to monitor the growth of crops
with satellites and share the data with farmers
GIS data, driver-less tractors and drones bring in big data sets that can be used
to analyse after every eld pass; and bid data analytics can be put to some
good use and the best time is now.

No Soil, No Water, No Sunlight, NoProblem

AeroFarming uses indoor vertical farming technology.


No Soil, No Water, No Sunlight, No Problem. Vertical Farming is growing
crops in places where traditional agriculture would have been impossible.
Vertical farming gives greater access to fresh, nutritious food-year round,
reducing the distance it has to travel to the end consumer.
Vertical farming can defy climate conditions, you get 100 times more crop per
square foot than traditional methods, and uses 99 percent less water usage
than outdoor elds.
Located 40 miles outside Chicago, this is Green Sense Farms, the largest
indoor vertical farm in the U.S. The CEO of Green Sense says

5 Crisis Waiting To Happen In India By2050

Not sure How Indias current prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi can make
India a global super power by 2050, but there are very convincing arguments
that say India can never be a super power because how can we progress faster
when we are terribly slow to correct our ongoing deciencies.
PriceWaterhouse Coppers says that by 2050 China will have a GDP of $61
trillion to the U.S. $41 trillion and that looks good.
Lets talk about all the pressing issues that we are going to face by 2050
.

Water Crisis To Kill SmartCities

Make in India, Digital India, Smart Cities, all good. What are doing about
some of the real crisis situations that are already right in front of our eyes; and
just because media will not bring it on the front page so we as citizens of India
will not notice and politicians and governments have little interest in those
issue as we are not data-driven anyway; we are all media-driven. Good or bad,
if its on television and at prime time we get excited otherwise all crap.

5CrisisWaitingToHappenInIndiaBy2050

Dams have run dry, water tanker maa is growing every day, more and more
states have been declared drought-aected. Considering the current economic
scenario, population growth and available natural resources scientists
conclude there is a high risk of severe water stress in much of an area that is
home to roughly half the worlds population.
.

PopulationBomb

The worlds population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050, the UN has reported,
and India will overtake China as the worlds most populous country by 2022.
The population of 28 African countries is expected to double by 2050.
.

Climate Change To Cause Additional


130,000Deaths

India will be among the worst hit countries and face a large number of deaths
due to changes in diets and body weight from reduced crop productivity,
according to a new study on climate change led by the University of Oxford.
In India, it is roughly 1.3 million deaths a year in 2013. According to the
study, air pollution causes more deaths than other risk factors like
malnutrition, obesity, alcohol and drug abuse, and unsafe sex. The Global
Burden of Disease Project puts it as the fourth greatest risk behind high blood
pressure, dietary risks and smoking. In India, the problem this draws
particular attention is the practice of burning wood, dung, crop residues and
other materials for cooking and heating, and this indoor pollution is more
dangerous than outdoor pollution
So, through to 2050, this growth overshadows the emissions controls (in our
projections) and will lead to an increase in future air pollutant emissions in
2050 in India.

Antimicrobial Resistance Would Claim An


Estimated Million Lives InIndia

Lord Jim ONeill, the renowned economist recently said The productivity of
the Indian economy will be severely impaired. India will never reap the
demographic dividend, which would have been a global advantage for the
country,
He almost warned that the country will fail to reach this exciting potential if
it doesnt scale up its eort to tackle the rising antimicrobial resistance
.

330 Million Elderly People (20% Of The


Population)

With the demands of Indias youthful population are not yet met, how India
will manage to motivate this 20% of the elderly population when there is
absolutely no nancial and organizational support. In this fast-paced life of
Indias youth that is inuenced by western culture; this 20% of the elder
population might take a hit when their usefulness is not so visible in this
transaction world.
Forget about doing something for them exclusively, is our medical ecosystem
well-equipped to meet the health challenges they will face? Its better if you
now start working on new skills that keep you useful until your last day.
Well, India needs to act fast and India just cant say:-

Other large benet of autonomous vehicle is to reduce trip overlap for times
during the day when more than one driver needs a vehicle
A self-driving vehicle could, for example, bring one spouse to work early in
the morning, then return home on its own to pick up the other in order to
make a separate run to a dierent workplace, drop o kids at school, help run
