Convergence between contemporary technology and artistic installations in architecture

By, MSc. Arch. Enkeleida Prifti

Abstract

This study came immediately when I think as an architect and a visual artist at the same time, about convergences between contemporary technologies, visual art and architecture. Technologies, visual art and architecture converge most widely in contemporary conceptual installations. The most important part of 21st century installations is the understanding of 20th century art as an intellectual project. The installation “absorbs” not only all the genres before it, but also the viewer himself. It is three-dimensional and is not just an “object”, but a space organized by the artist, addressing intimate personal experiences as a catalyst for the spiritual rebirth of society.
