Artists' Work - AD (After Digitization) Overview What distinguishes New Media art as it is practiced now from the way it was practiced before is that it has gained more recognition as an art form in itself. Although the gap between the White Cube and the festival situation does still exist, the inclusion of video art at major exhibitions such as in 1987 Documenta 8 in Kassel has benefited the popularisation of the medium. It continues to be found in a hybridised form along side other practices and the look it assumes depends on technological developments. Since the second half of the 70s montage techniques, like fades and image mixing, made the footage look more refined. The digitazation of the image, which replaced the analogue recording in the 1990s with numerical codes, made the images endlessly open to manipulation and editing more seamless. The interest in real time that characterises so much of earlier video art, became replaced with an increasing interest in manipulation of time, Layered time, multiple large projections and screens, integration within installations, projecting over other materials or real architecture to create their own illusionistic space can now be all encountered in viewing New media. The materials of new media has also expanded to include other electronic communication devices as well as genetically engineered biological matter. The role of the artist practicing within this context has shifted towards that of a researcher, and the artists are more likely to develop their work as part of scientific team.
