Abstract：

Technical issues have become a hot topic of discussion nowadays, and music and art works that apply science and technology have also emerged and become popular. Most research focuses on the content and environment of artistic creation, and also analyzes the principles of the technology applied in the works. However, there is little discussion on the problems of technology itself, and the phenomenon of technology being widely used is rarely discussed in the context of aesthetics. In fact, technological development has accompanied the development of human history, and through the evolution of technology, we can also indirectly understand the development and evolution of human civilization. The argumentation method of this article is mainly based on existing foreign theories, dividing the discussion of technical issues that gradually emerged after the 20th century into two parts: the first part explains the principles of technology and instrument development and attempts to propose a new approach; The second part discusses the emergence, evolution, and various phenomena of technology in the process of human use within the framework of empirical philosophy theory, in order to establish a basic methodology for discussing technological issues and provide reference for China to establish independent academic and research directions in the future.
