I agree with the author when he says its limiting to think that new media arts are simply images that are viewable on a computer and that if they are printed they’re considered not to be. I think any type of art that requires the use of a computer whether you leave it in there or print it, is considered new media arts.
“All existing media are translated into numerical data accessible for the computer…become…sets of computer data. In short, media became new media.” It’s interesting how he believes new media arts are just numbers put into a computer. Someone that may have an art major might think differently. New media arts to them is art. They can be interpreted in many different ways by many different people.
