Jane Livingston, I Presume.
There is a dialogue from Jane Livingston on page 271 that discusses the relationship between artists with creative endeavors and advancing technology. The beginning paragraph sums up her topic very astutely: "One of the fundamental dualisms inherent in the question of technology's uses in a humanist context has to do with the conflict between the belief that, in a word, technology is the metaphysics of this century, and therefore has to be accommodated from within, and the view that technology is somehow self-perpetuating, implacable and essentially inhuman, and that therefore humanist and artistic endeavor must function separated from it and even in opposition to it." This seems to be an issue relevant today, still, even though this dialogue is from 1971. Perhaps even more so as technology continually advances and rises in prominence everywhere around the world.
