The combination of art and technology, to some extent, is actually presenting stories. In the context of Western art history, from the Renaissance to contemporary art, the organizational methods of artists' production and display are undergoing changes: the theatrical unity from the pre modern era to the separation from the modernist era, and now turning back to the contemporary era. The master of theater space construction, Bernini, proposed the concept of the beautiful whole (Compsto), which is the most typical art form of Baroque and Rococo. This is an interior space that is unified in both form and theme, surpassing the boundaries set by the Renaissance between painting, sculpture, and architecture. The whole of beauty is like a carefully choreographed dance, where each medium plays a role in the whole, and this whole aims to elicit sensory, emotional, and intellectual responses from the viewer, leading them towards a 'sublime' experience. In the contemporary era after modernism, the combination of art and technology is aimed at providing the public with a series of theatrical ultimate experiences - sublime shock. We should consider: what kind of artistic production will we have in today's era? What role should art play in contemporary cities or daily spaces? What kind of story is it telling for whom?
