Re: Re: what exactly IS new media?

well basically, any art form that uses a tool of some kind, from the advent of photography on up is new media….its just not painting, sculpture, etc….however, you're right, people use the term loosely, usually to promote an art program or job opportunity. Calling something new media is like describing a criminal to the police like:" well officer, he was human, but not prehistoric cromagnon man human…he looked more modern"…so yeah i guess your right. If it's shiney and new it must be new media?
