Abstract

This article presents a reflection on the impact that technology has had in society, analysing one of the most influential historical periods: modernity and the European artistic avant- garde. On account of the presence that hybrid forms in-between the human and the technological has at present, this issue has been established as a constant in the history of human being and, specifically, in the aforementioned historical period. The current revision of this period will be assimilated giving continuity to this line.    During the European technological development in the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century, the perception of the new avant-garde art on the individual is understood as a hybrid in-between the human and the machine.    All of these proposals particularly influenced areas such as technology or science, reaching to the perception that society has on these concerns at present, as a whole. Nowadays, the individual, art, science and technology are involved in a continuous interrelationship and usually merge. Therefore, a study on the implications that the European artistic avant-garde had regarding the paradigm initiated in modernity is presented, being able to contribute in regard to recent research on this issue.
