New Media Art — A Conclusion
And so, my friends, with merely a little over an hour left before we can no longer post to our semester project blogs, I’d like to create a post for reflection.
We’ve explored various forms of digital art and delved into the minds of numerous artists. Since the genre of ‘new media art’ is so new, it can be said that the artists involved are not dissimilar from scientists and explorers of the great unknown. They’re constantly exploring the limits and boundaries of modern science and/or technologies to create their unique pieces. Not only are they experimenting with the technological limits, but also the ethical boundaries and psychological limits as well.
Some use the exploration and process of producing their artwork to obtain further knowledge in a particular scientific field, while others may use certain innovative technologies to spread their message and make statements to hopefully make a difference. Today’s “new media artists” truly are the pioneers of the new millennium.
I look forward to seeing where this new genre goes in the following decades to come. I wonder what new issues will be brought to light, what new discoveries will be made, and what positive changes will occur as a result. Will the term ‘new media art’ remain–or will another term take its place as the years progress? Overall, this class his inspired me to further my knowledge of the plethora of new artists and their works in this new digital age. I want to make my own works just as meaningful and with a purpose. This course has truly been one of the most enjoyable I’ve ever taken and proved to be quite an inspiration.

I’d like to thank all of you who have bothered to visit my blog and read my entries. I hope I have encouraged even more people to develop a thirst for the investigation of the possibilities of modern science and technologies, as well as a hunger for further educating oneself in current ‘new media art’ projects currently underway.
Do not assume that because I have ended my blogging for a grade means that you shouldn’t comment on my entries and start discussions. It is highly likely that after my class has ended, I will still continue to blog here and explore digital art further.
Thank you all!
