Technology brings us ever more powerful and penetrating lenses that allow us to discover parts of our world that were previously unreachable, or unimaginable. New, higher-definition lenses can simultaneously take us further or bring us closer, assisting our on going examination of the world around us. These new perspectives are driving some interesting developments in 21st century art, such as art that looks deep inside our bodies, or art that recreates panoramic views of the world from above. Furthermore, as the nature of the image is evolving, so too are the channels through which the visual information passes. The way that we view and engage with art is being democratised.
