Technology has had its role to play in the evolution of erotic art.
The most obvious example of this would be the invention of photography. Victorian erotic photographers preferred to stay anonymous as sexual imagery was still considered indecent, but today they are free to operate openly and combined with the recent popularity of the internet there is now a wide range of work available. The advent of accessible computer technology and image manipulation software has also assisted the increase in public erotic photography. It has come to pass that anyone can manipulate a photo of their wife, girlfriend, lover or friend to make it appear a hell of a lot more artistic. The use of filters and plug ins are helpful.
Erotic photography is not to be confused with pornography though the line between the two is not so much thin as it is blurred, since it’s really down to personal opinion of what is considered “indecent” and what is artistic.
