The Art of New Media

According to my previous post, what you may find interesting is..

New media is actually a great piece of art. Every act imposed by people was well planned, and is aiming to achieve some goals. Just like any other art piece, it provides a mean for online users to share their messages and ideas with one and other. Aspects about the users, like their interests and hobbies, can also be reflected through their creations.

In order to produce an impressive creation, users must get through some stages:

1)      Identify the message or idea that you would like to share

2)      Identify your audience in order to choose what kind of languages should be used

3)      Design the form of expression that you are going to use

However, just merely go through these stages are not enough to make a great creation. What should be further considered are elements that can make your creation stands out from others. Before going down further, let’s have a quick look of the video below

After watching this, is there any new idea entered your mind? For an impressive art piece, theme is quite important. It is because an unclear theme may affect audiences’ understanding on the message or idea that one would like share, while a clear theme may enhance their understanding of it. Besides, how to catch audiences’ attention, and arouse discussions among them are two other essential factors that determine whether your creation is success or not. One easy way to get people’s attention is to do something special, thus, require originality, like what a recent MV – Gangnam Style has demonstrated. Therefore, creativity is another critical factor that may affect the popularity of your act piece.

To sum up, art is everything. And the art of New Media can be appreciated in terms of its form of expression and the idea that one would like to share. A way for one to know whether their creation is good or not can base on others' comments. But remember, impressive creations never look 'regular' ;)
