New Media Art Definition

New Media Art is an extensively encompassing term that deals with non-traditional media, mainly electronic, to create pieces of work. Art, itself, is all about communicating one's ideas and one's intent of purpose. New Media Art explores this same universal art principle, however, it is about pushing the boundaries and meanings of reality using film, animation, sound, and other mechanical media, instead of static drawings or paintings. Dimension, time, and function are integral and defining parts within this type of artistic medium.


Audrey Kawasaki works in Traditional Media. She paints with oil paints onto wood panels or onto canvas. Her work explores female sexuality and things of that nature.

Adrianne Wortzel works in New Media. She uses film in conjunction with machines--namely robots--to explore human behavior and robotic behavior conceptually.

How: Fletcher employs many different techniques to create his work. It ranges from drawing and sculptu...

Project Review - Tricia Richardson

Tricia Richardson Tricia's movie was wrought with nostalgia, obsession, and collection. I loved the way she used the hands to tell a 'memory' story about item collection, nostalgia, memory, and relationships. The lighting was great, the motions were lovely, and the pacing was appropriate and sweet. The song was great. I didn't mind the bittersweet lyrics, they added to the movie overall, giving it more of a sweet, slightly sad, mood. Pro's: simple, pleasing to the eyes well paced good music appropriate mood playful nostalgic Con's: ending credits too drawn out song lyrics a little too bitter, but still fit. transition from hands to fake hand people a little jarring.
