Technological changes to art during the modern era?

Question

I've got an assignment for art, and i need to answer questions then write an essay on 2 technological changes that revolutionized the way artists approach artmaking in the modern era(1880-1990). I need help with the technological changes, i was thinking about doing digital photography but i cant think of another change, please help!!!

Answer 1

Digital/computer generated images

Digital manipulation of photographs

Mediums of film (movie reels, television broadcasts, video tapes/laserdiscs)

Color photography

Electric lightbulbs

Mass produced anything used in art

Not sure whether digital photography existed before 1990.

Answer 2

How about the development of film, television, radio, neon lights, colour film, colour television, colour photography, fibreglass, plastics? All of these were new technologies in your specified era.

A logical pairing would be the advent of personal photography (when cameras became a domestic appliance), and the advent of digital photography.

Photography itself is only a couple of decades before your era, but it wasn't considered an artform until well into the 20th century.
