To answer your question:

"Is it possible that given the emergence of technology, we will start to view art in a different way?"

I think art, as broad a category as this is, is especially adaptable to encompassing technology due to the fact that the creation of art often seems to be focused on challenging familiar thought patterns and 'normal' methods of creation. I think this is already happening, and in a variety of different forms.

My cousin, an art and computer science major, recently pointed this site out to me which I think is a really interesting combination of art, design, and technology:

Also, an artist named Ira Greenberg came to visit BMC CS last semester to talk to us about how he transitioned from creating art through painting to creating art through programming. Much of his work seems to be based on writing programs that create virtual organisms, that can interact with users or visitor to his exhibits in some way. Another method he mentioned using in his art/programs is in the lack of simplicity in user interfaces. By giving users a lot of choice/control over the look of the program with out much clarity, a program can become more 'messy' or malleable like paint.
