What is New Media Art?

Defining new media art is just as hard as defining what art is, but from the word “New media”, it is a form of art that is made with the combination of new media technology and traditional art forms.

Though it can be created in many ways, new media arts are mostly created by digital age technologies such as net art, mixed media, computer-based arts, photography, videography.

Lastly, the most significant thing about new media art is that it is a collaboration between the art creator and the observer and by that means, it gives the audiences a chance to interact with the artwork rather than just looking at it.
