Art and technology: Contriving the future

Abstract

The present paper discusses the initiatives taken by the Dot Org to address the prevalent issues of creativity crisis and lack of economic self-sufficiency. Dot Org is a non-government organization formed by undergraduate students of a technical college, who take out some time from their busy study schedule to contribute for the enhancing art skills of unprivileged children by imparting them education and raising funds for them. It further discusses how the evolution in the field of graphic designing has led to the devaluation of handmade arts and how one can combine the two to ensure the coexistence and development of both. The paper also shows the workflow showing implementation of the idea of creating a bridge between privileged and the underprivileged for sustainable development. The workflow includes the process of extraction of design, processing and then final publishing of the design in the form of an economic product.
