What is Media Arts?

Media Arts is art that is created through use of new media and technology.  The term media art is used to indicate a certain group of art works. In general, the term media art is understood to apply to all forms of time-related art works* which are created
by recording sound or visual images.

*A time-related art work is a work that changes and ‘moves’, in contrast to older art forms that are static, which stand still, such as paintings, photographs and most sculptures. Time-related art works include works in the fields of sound, video and computer art, both installations and internet projects, and single channel work**.– St. Paul Public Schools Office of Teaching and Learning
