What Is New Media In Art?

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


"New media" is, in my mind, one of the most important terms for artists to become familiar with. This is especially true when you consider just how important technology is. If you are familiar with tech, more often than not, you are going to be familiar with new media. If you're curious as to what this is all about - and I am sure that you are - here are a few points of discussion that anyone would be wise to bring attention to.

One of the first points of new media to mention would be video games. There's no doubt that game design is a relatively effective option, especially when you consider that most designers have been playing games for years beforehand. The level of interactivity in this field is strong, which is a point that no gamer can overlook. New media is made up of many points, but video games are the ones which seem to elicit the greatest amount of engagement.

What about CDs, which are also included under the new media umbrella? These can be as interactive as possible, especially when you think about different pieces of software can be loaded onto them. Others may use them for informational purposes, though, which has its usage in digital art. Of course, one can make the reasonable argument that CDs are not used as much today, especially with the expansive nature of the Internet. For the sake of discussing new media, though, CDs should still be noted.

The concept of new media includes websites as well, if you'd like to know. Platforms like these are especially wrong when you consider that they are great at bringing information to the masses. Without websites, chances are that we wouldn't be able to answer questions and discover new details as easily. This doesn't even begin to cover websites and how they play into business. For many, this is the most commonly utilized type of new media out there.

These are just a few instances of new media that, in theory, could help artists in the long term. With the increased focus on digital media, which shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, it's important to look into new media and its various examples. Some of these may be used to further the creation of art, while others may be used simply to store information. Regardless, new media has its role to play and it's to see that it's an important one.
