01 Poster of Whatever You Want: New Media Show

New Media Art was born in the liberal development of a global context. New media art is a genre that encompasses artworks created with new media technologies, including digital art, computer graphics, computer animation, virtual art, Internet art, interactive art, computer robotics, and art as biotechnology. Different from traditional visual art, it makes a breakthrough in the vehicle of dissemination what’s more it blurs the boundary between art practitioners and consumers and combines them into an organic whole. Art has never been so opposite to life. Since the day New Media Art was born, it has been connected with the exchanges of markets namely it has undergone the process from modern media of technologies to art through capitalistic patronage.

New Media Art often involves an interaction between the artist and observer or between observers and the artwork, which responds to them. Therefore, practices of New Media Art often appear to be interesting, aesthetic, vogue, alternative and creative.
