Abstract |
New media art can be defined as a new form of art works using new media. New media art is created or exhibited using computers. Accordingly, the scope of new media art ranges from video arts edited with computers to Web arts created and exhibited using computers. Furthermore, new media art includes images created with computer, printed out on paper and exhibited, and works called net arts. The remediation theory of Bolter and Grusin is one of the latest theories that perceive new media art hierarchically and cognitively. This study purposed to analyze the creation methods of new media arts produced and distributed today based on the remediation theory of Bolter and Grusin. For this purpose, this study closely examined recent cases of new media arts, categorizing the properties of new media arts into abstraction, reproduction and interaction. In addition, clear common and different points between new media arts and traditional paintings, which are the genealogical origin of new media arts, were identified through examining the relation between them. This attempt was to clarify immediacy, remediation and hypermedia suggested in the remediation theory. Through this, we tested the validity of the remediation theory, and at the same time, suggested the necessity of an analysis frame in an extended form by revealing the limitation of the scope of the theory. This attempt was to confirm the position of new media arts in the rapidly changing environment of visual culture and to expand the horizon of communication with the masses pursued by contemporary arts. |
