New media art
is a gerne that uses new technologies including digital art,
computer graphics, computer animation, virtual art, internet art, interactive art technology and computer robotics to produce artwork.
This art works then delivered through telecommunications, mass media and digital modes.


If questioned about the exact time when new media art started, there would be no exact answer for that. It is because new media art started when technology and computer science meet with art, which we do not know when and where the specific date and place that incident took place.

The fun of doing an artwork using this method is that, you can combine any technology to produce wonderful artwork. For example redrawing a figure using a laptop, a software and a drawing tablet. You can just modify the things you want to : the shape and etc.
Another one is that using a camera with slow shutter speed and capture a moving light to create abstract artpiece.
One of the artist in this field who is based in New Orleans, Eric Ehlenberger is doing neon art and sculpture.

One main issue regarding the artwork of new media art is that it is nearly impossible to preserved or documented. This is because, when the technology becomes more advance, our previous technology will no longer be used, which means that the previous artwork with the older format will no longer be compatible to the current technology which uses a better format.
Another issue that pops up between new media art and traditional method art
is that some wants and thinks that the traditional method is much better and meaningful while some say that this new media is better and the traditional method should be make fade in society.

I strongly believe that
having new media art in our daily lives makes our world more interesting day by day as we explore the fantasy of our mind which slowly made visible by this kind of art today.
But by keeping the old method or applying it together with the new method, this should add more value of the artwork created.

To conclude, new media art is very important to step more steps further into exploring the limit of art while preserving the traditional way to make sure that the fine art of human kind would not fade, eaten by time.
