New Media Artists

Today we discussed the multi platforms in which new media can be produced.
Platforms such as the web namely net.art, video instillation, performance and video instillation, and performance art.
The artist we used, as examples today were Michel Gondry - with the Chemical Brothers ' let forever be'.
This particular video incorporated music performance, and dance performance on the platform of moving image.

We also explored Spike Jones and 'Torrance Dance Group' instillation. This is a great example of liver performance in context, moving into a moving image format for a music performance.

I think it’s important for the students to understand that MTV offers a music video that goes with a music track. But an artist thinks these videos up and the involvement of art, performance and the symbolism within that is something to be recognised.

Essentially what these artists are doing is taking instillation out of the 4 white walls it is usually recognised in and bringing it to your home.
So lets just hope that people do recognise this, as new media is in affect old media reproduced in new languages to be accommodating for audiences.

I wonder if the audience has caught on to this yet?

Oh one more to think about...

I'm not sure whether this would be instilation art, well not the top one anyway. to me it just looks like a couole of students having a laugh and not really thinking about the art side of things. but i may be wrong?

new media as i understand it, is anything that is produced in a new way, be it music videos, fun mess around stuff or installation art such as a VJ set.
