The fusion of art and technology exploring the boundaries of new media aesthetics

Abstract

Focusing on new media aesthetics, this paper explores the relationship between modern art and the integration of technology. The impact of technology on artistic innovation and its historical development are discussed, with an emphasis on new interactive art forms such as virtual reality and augmented reality. Characteristics of new media art such as interactivity, digitisation, multimedia integration, immediacy, openness and criticality are outlined. Finally, the importance of new media art for the shaping of contemporary art and the aesthetic experience of the audience is emphasised.
