Since then, they have diverged, but with the rapid technological advancement of the current era, art and technology have begun to be <i class="">re</i>integrated. Recently, the application of computing to aesthetics (or “art and design”) has proliferated. Thanks to new technologies, we can expand the perceptual experiences of our existing senses and can even create novel perceptual dimensions that have never been imagined – new <i class="">presence</i>. Conversely, computing and technology can be influenced by arts and aesthetics, in what we call “aesthetic computing”. The application of art theory and practice to computing provides an opportunity to explore more creative media, making the concept of computing more accessible and promoting personalization and customization of computing structures. The trend to integrate art and technology is pervasive in formal education: STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is evolving into STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) by adding art and design to the equation.</span></p> <div class=""><span class="" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"> </div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">This year, the 25<sup class="">th</sup> anniversary of the journal <i class="">Presence</i>, may well be the first year of a </span><span class="" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">new virtual reality era, with a plethora of new and updated virtual reality devices and technologies (Oculus DK, HTC Vive, Microsoft HoloLens, etc.). </span><span class="" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Given the paradigm shift from cognitivism into embodiment, the human body now has more opportunity for representation in computing (gesture interaction, tangible user interface, etc.) than at any previous time.

Scientists and technologists can learn interaction techniques and strategies from body expression experts – “artists”; and virtual reality can provide an integrative, dynamic platform for arts and performances, a living synthesis of which German composer Richard Wagner once dreamed in his vision of “gesamtkunstwerk” – comprehensive work of art.
