DIGITAL DIFFERENCE: RECONTEXTUALIZING NEW MEDIA ART
Chair: Juliet Davis, University of Tampa, 302 49th St. N., St. Petersburg, FL 33710
From fine-art games to electronic literature, new media have introduced
a host of terms that might seem contradictory in the context
of traditional art scholarship and cultural studies. While some
writers have made cases for new media as extensions of art and
literary traditions, others see completely new cultural forms that
largely break with tradition. Furthermore, while some cultural studies
scholars have seen interactive media as the ultimate postmodern
expression, others note modernist trends such as generative-
software artists' focus on form. This panel seeks to identify
attributes of new media that distinguish them
