The old media avant-garde came up with
new forms, new ways to represent reality
and new ways to see the world.
The new media avant-garde is about new
ways of accessing and manipulating
information. New media is post-media or
meta-media, as it uses old media as its
primary material

..an attempt to produce aesthetic
sensations without the intervening
'object;' in fact, to exacerbate the
conflict or sense of aesthetic tension by
placing works in mundane, non-art
formats.

A programming language gives you the
power to express some ideas, while
limiting your abilities to express others.
