"Reflections On Technology"

The introduction of this paper described the relationship between digital modeling and traditional sculpture.By discovering the issues in this relationship,the major topic of this paper,reflections of technology,was confirmed.This paper is consisted of four parts.The first part of this paper demonstrated how grids and the topological structures formed by grid,the most essential ways of digital engraving,affected the shapes.Base on this demonstration,this part also discussed the relationship between the concept of "point,boundary,surface" under digital modeling and the concept of "point,line to plane" under traditional sculpture.The second part of this paper portrayed the overall look of digital modeling by discussing its overall modeling method.By comparing the non-linearity of digital modeling and linearity of traditional sculpture,this part also discussed the possibility of technical substitutability.This part also extended the discussion to the topic of senses base on these two creation methods.The third part of this paper discovered the relationship between virtual and reality space of digital modeling,and the relationship between traditional sculpture and reality space.Creative subject's awareness of space was discussed based on this discovery.The fourth part of this paper consisted of two parts.The first part discussed the audience's expectations for traditional sculpture and digital modeling.The second part explored the value of traditional sculpture by explaining the relationship between technology,tech company and users.The conclusion part echoed the reflections in the first part and the attitude of the writer was illustrated.
