''Media'' (the plural of Medium ) refer to technologies used to communicate messages and include mass media ( Newspapers , TV , Radio ), popular media ( Film , Books ) and digital media ( Computer Games , the World Wide Web , Virtual Reality ) and others.

Plural form refers as well to the variety of technologies and formats digital medium is taking.

"New" in this context means:

  • the relative novelty of digital computing

  • a belief in the computer as the future

  • the unprecedented speed of evolution and mutation of devices and technologies

  • undeveloped, imperfect and experimental environments

  • subjective novelty, most of the artists and theoreticians currently studying digital culture have migrated from different disciplines.


New media are also the common denominator of such disciplines as (new) Media Art (from Nam June Paik to Net.art ), (new) Media Activism , (new) Media Studies (from Marshall McLuhan to Lev Manovich ) and journalistic Media Criticism (from Neil Postman to Howard Rheingold ).
