    In the 1970s, modernism adapted to the digital age as artists, designers, and architects embraced new digital technologies. They incorporated computer-generated forms, interactive media, and digital fabrication into their work. For example, artist Roman Verostko developed the first pen plotter in the late 1970s, allowing visual artwork to be created digitally. Architects also began using computer-aided design software to generate and modify designs digitally. By the end of the 1970s, digital technology had fundamentally changed modernist practice.

    How did modernism adapt to the digital age in the 70s? What role did artists,

    designers and architects play in incorporating digital technology in their works?

    In the 1970s, modernism adapted to the digital age by embracing digital technology and

    finding new ways to incorporate it into their artwork, architecture, and design. Artists, designers,

    and architects were some of the first to explore the potential of digital technology, creating

    artworks and structures that made use of computer-generated forms, interactive media, and

    digital fabrication. For example, the work of artist Roman Verostko, who developed the first pen

    plotter in the late 70s, revolutionized the way visual artwork could be created. Similarly,

    architects and designers began to experiment with computer-aided design (CAD) software,

    which allowed them to quickly generate and modify a design before putting it into production. By

    the end of the 70s, digital technology had changed the way modernism was practiced, providing

    a new platform to explore the possibilities of the digital age.

    2-Discuss deconstruction in the context of works of one artist/ architect of your

    Choice.

    Deconstruction is a method of analysis developed by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida in

    the 1960s. It is a form of literary criticism that challenges traditional assumptions about the

    meaning of a text by examining its language and structure. Deconstruction can be applied to

    visual art, architecture, literature, and film. One artist who used deconstruction in his work is the

    French sculptor and installation artist. Buren was a major figure in the French avant-garde

    movement known as Supports/Surfaces, which focused on the deconstruction of traditional

    forms of painting. Buren’s work often used repeated patterns of stripes, which he called “visual

    markers”, to create a sense of ambiguity and instability. By breaking down the traditional

    structure of painting, Buren explored the idea of the instability of meaning. In his installation

    piece “The Eye of the Storm”, Buren deconstructed the idea of the traditional picture frame. The

    installation consisted of a room filled with hundreds of picture frames suspended from the

    ceiling. Each of the frames was filled with a single stripe, which created a dizzying visual effect.

    By deconstructing the traditional picture frame, Buren was able to create an unstable,

    disorienting space that explored the idea of the instability of meaning. By using deconstruction

    in his work, Buren was able to explore the idea of the instability of meaning and create a unique

    visual experience. His work has had a major influence on contemporary art and continues to be

    a source of inspiration for many artists today.
