Time Travel_Back and forth… This is the only way to understand our technological era. Increasingly the artistic practice is related to the technological advancement: new concept and new methodologies are growing. An archeological overview on the relationship between art and technology is helpful to better understand the nowadays artistic practice. This is the aim of the lecture, focusing on the audiovisual historical Media Art experience. Starting from the end of the Eighteen century, where a real new media context emerged, we will retrace the principal point which have characterized the relationship between art and technology: as the Hausman and Lissitzky experience in the 30st avantgard period, the emerge of electronic technologies in the sixties till the advent of digital technologies and the interactivity artworks.
