| description | Contextual analysis studies based on cultural and identity aspects of
fine art practice are still limited in Malaysia, especially concerning new media
art, although new media as an artistic tool was introduced as early as the 1990s.
Since the seminal exhibition on E-art was in 1997, since then systematic
examination of new media artworks and their role in the Malaysian art history
has only been limitedly done. The early approaches of new media art were
varied, yet the subject matter, as discussed in this paper, was still mostly
informed by the general proclivities of Malaysia artists at that time. Thus, it can
be seen that despite the new technology used and explored, the subject matter of
these works is still aligned with similar concerns and contents as can be found in
contemporaneous works using traditional media. Thus, as this paper
demonstrates, the themes of cultural identity and culture related issues and
concerns still persisted as the main subject matter of early Malaysian new media
artworks, as can be seen in the oeuvres of Hasnul Jamal Saidon, Liew Kungyu,
Niranjan Rajah, Yee I-Lann and T.C. Liew |
