ABSTRACT
From a historical perspective on how art and business as well as art and technology are related, we discuss art in relation to business and show the potential of how the interplay of seemingly unrelated fields can trigger social, technological and economic development and innovation. After starting off with a historical perspective on how art is and has been conceived over time in both the art world and the economic world, we will then use media arts as an example of the relation between art conception and economy.
