Abstract
Art and Technology in the United States of America (1958-1971) : The Environment in Question The massive use of the concept of environment in art occured in a period where the understanding of space was challenged by the new and pervasive technologies. Among many other projects of dialogue between art and technology, the sensitive and environmental apparatuses designed by artists involved in the organization Experiments in Art and Technologie (E.A.T.) or in the Art and Technology Program directed by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), better emphasized the new stakes as attempts to make explicit the technical nature of reality or to define alternative spaces. Those art spaces dramatized the very distinction between nature and artifact. Most of all, by focusing on the notion of control, it put into question the responsability of artist regarding to the aesthetic, social and politic changes consecutive to the sudden development of technology in the society.
