This work was a thorough “​​bibliography of texts dealing either explicitly or implicitly with interrelationships between the visual arts, science and technology,” according to the article’s abstract.

The piece played an important role in synthesizing, compiling and documenting the role that technology has played in art in order to showcase the illustrious history.
