I think evolution is a valid way to look at technology as long as you are open to the idea that it may not be evolving to better serve us. You are simply a part of technologies environment- something it uses to reproduce and grow.

I have a BFA in sculpture and would have a minor in CS but for the math requirements. I currently work as a data scientist. If I'm feeling punchy, I'll try to sell myself as a data poet. I use abstraction and metaphor to create meaning from chaos. The distance from art to science has always been very short. If I ever need to explain myself, I just say it's all about problem solving and abstraction.
