Heidegger is not actually an antitechnologist or a revivalist. He does not think we need to escape from technology while criticizing it, nor does he miss a certain “golden age” in human history. Heidegger cannot provide us with specific methods to solve many problems in the technological age, but his reflection and questioning provide us with a possible way of redemption, which is of great significance to the development of our current era. After analyzing Heidegger's related works and related literature by many scholars, this paper finds that most of the research stays on aspects such as the existence, the nature of art, the nature of technology, the crisis brought about by technology, and the rescue of technology by art. Part of it involves the relationship between technology and art, but rarely concentrates on thinking about the relationship between technology and art. Based on this, through the exploration and analysis of the origin of ancient techniques and the reconsideration of the essence of modern technology, this paper takes the “Ge-stell” thought in the context of Heidegger's thinking on technology as the breakthrough point and reexamines technology. It understands and expounds the development of art; tries to study the inner connection and connotation between Heidegger's modern technology, art, and modern technology “Ge-stell”; and grasps the relationship between technology and art as a whole. By analyzing and pointing out the “Ge-stell” essence of technology, the blood relationship between technology and art has been cut off, and art has been brought into the control of technology, resulting in an unprecedented survival crisis for human beings. Finally, the rescue in the technological era is proposed. It can provide philosophical guidance and new thinking for the development of the current society and the plight of the times it is facing.
