Digital technology is transforming art as it is science

Does the highlighted section mean:

1. Digital technology is transforming art as if art is some kind of science

or

2. Digital technology is transforming art the same way as it is transferring science

and does "but to be other than alien" refer to "the artist"?

Digital technology is transforming art as it is science but to be other than alien, the artist has to find a connection with the viewers’ felt physical and temporal experience.

It means (2) (except you accidentally typed "transferring" when you meant "transforming"). Yes to the second question. A comma after "science" would be helpful.

Thanks a lot. Does "to be other than alien" mean "to be more familiar with it" (i.e. to make it more familiar)?

"alien" means remote from the viewers' lives and experiences, as if coming from a foreign place. If the artist is "other than alien" then he or she is not like that.
