Technological determinism and the evolution of art: The dominant role of the instrument in shaping artistic style

The evolution of art is analyzed in this article through the prism of technological determinism. The author puts forward the idea that stylistic changes in the history of art are not merely a result of pure aesthetic shifts in human thinking, but a direct consequence of material instruments and technological revolutions. The study comparatively examines processes from ancient architecture to modern generative algorithms, proving the dominant role of technology in art.
