Abstract
New media/digital art is a genre that contains references to ‘traditional’ forms of visual art but also extends far beyond the solely visual because it combines moving images, sound, and installed elements that contribute to a multi-sensory experience that engages the viewer in ways that visual art does not. New media/digital art also utilizes complex computer programs to create virtual reality spaces as well as network structures that can reach across the globe. Therefore, I think it is necessary to deliberately set new media/digital art apart from the contemporary visual arts by addressing its hybrid nature.
