The main idea is to show how art ideas, media, techniques and their presentation changed over time and how they are complimenting new technology and new media in its structure.
By showing this transition chronologically I introduced the old art forms and the new revolutionary product-camera and photography that, in the arts, have brought us where we are today.
Chronologically I showed images and talk about topics that concern this.
I showed my point by introducing several artists and their work with new media and technology.
I started with Sam Taylor Woods who uses still video projection to capture the image of decaying rabbit that represents the beauty of life and the vision of how one life dies while the other one is being born.
The installation work of Marina Abramovic and her revolutionary involvement of people into arts, and a completely new perspective of looking and presenting art work.
Mariko Mori, the Japanese artist that uses light,video,sound, sculpture to develop the strikingly beautiful vision of cutting edge technology for the 21st century.
Olafur Eliasson's focus is on the light and the differences of preservations of colors. He uses mirrors, focused projections of light, and elements such as water, stone, and moss to shift the viewer's perception of place and self.
And finally the main artist that is completely involved in new media and our generation of technology is Cao Fei. She actually created an avatar on Second Life that serves to public and tells the story of the artist’s idea of life. . In here she projects her vision of the world and depicts Chinese architecture, landscape and images that echo tradition of China but also contrasts it to the dreamy world that second life can offer us.
This is the new form of art, a new vision of 21th century for which my main argument was that it needs to be accepted as art of new generations and that people need to shift from old traditional views of art to the new technological perceptions.
