Description
Summary:What is the extent to which new (mass) media (aside from the negative role they play in the global colonisation of the world) open the door to new artistic experiences and how important are these experiences when it comes to multiplication and networking through modern technologies in particular? Through the comparison of traditional arts and old media to new arts and new media, this paper searches for the essence of an artwork, the same essence of difference through different times and different technologies, with a different role of media in mediating the artwork. The fate of art is discussed through the fateful influence of mass media on everyday life and even on the forms of artistic practices. The artistic practice is discussed as a form of free human activity that has been expanding on the limits of that which is human since prehistoric times.
