Technoligy for art, or technoligy used by art?

As i read the assaginment i was brough to the distinct impression that while there where thinkers who were perdicting the great synthessis of information that would soon be possible, and while there where those who used the technoligy available to make art, it does not seem atleast based on the short peice where are working from that they altered and created new on the technoligy. The Technoligy was not made with the art, but the art was made with the technoligy, which seems to imply that the creative process was curtailed based on the availability of technoligy and that the final project was a side affect of the technoligy, shaped within it.
