 NEW MEDIA ART FORMS

New Media Art Forms Sample Explanation

1. Representational Art Actual objects or subjects
from nature or reality are
represented. Either they look
exactly like the object copied
naturally or realistically or they
can be stylized for as long as the
essential parts are present in the
artwork.

2. Abstract Art Here subjects are taken from

reality and nature but the artist
presents them in ways different
from the way they are seen in
everyday life. Elements of art
like lines, colors, shapes,
textures etc. Are used by the
artist and are organized using
some or combination of the
principles of design. It is
abstraction when the artist
begins with a subject, interprets
it in his/her own way and comes
up with forms that are not
similar to real objects
 3. Non-objective Art This also uses elements of art
and principles of design but the
artworks do not represent or
show a person, place or thing in
the natural world. Usually, the
content of the work is its colors,
shapes, brushstrokes, size, scale,
and in some cases, the process
by which it is made. It is
considered non-objective when
the artist makes art images and
forms that have no reference to
reality

INSTALLATION ART
Installation Art is:
Installation art is an art form consisting of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed
to transform interior or exterior spaces to achieve an effect. The subject matter of installation art is often stimulated
by an event or an issue relating to human and social condition, such as globalization, migration, human trafficking,
terrorism, power struggle, multiculturalism, environmental degradation or climate change. Because it is three-
dimensional and the techniques used, it is often identified with sculpture. They are designed and installed only in
the space for which they were created. Several genres such as painting, sculpture and mediums like ready-mades,
found objects, drawing, text, objects assembled together to interact with space or art objects formed creatively by
the artist comprise installation art.

Type of Installation Arts Sample Art Explanation

1. Technology-aided installation art Technology-aided
installation works use light,
video or film is projected.
2. Performance-Installation art  Performance-installation
art is combined with theater
and dance. Performance is
made under a specific span
of time and lights and
sounds are part of the
design. This requires careful
planning for the placement
of the materials but more
importantly, to achieve the
desired effect when
combined with lights,
sounds, and the performers’
movements. When all these
elements interact in a light-
controlled space, it makes
this installation type best
appreciated.

3. Conceptual Installation art Conceptual installation art

puts emphasis on an idea or
concept rather than in an art
object that can be touched.
It may include a written text,
instruction, or a question
that leads the viewer to
think about an idea. The role
of the artist is to make
people think and reflect
through the use of an art
piece as stimulus.

4. Interactive Installation art Interactive installation art is

where the viewer can touch,
walk in or through, listen to
or interact with the
installation piece. In some
works, viewers are given
pieces of fabric or paper to
write and then attach on the
artwork. The viewer’s
contribution completes the
meaning of the installation.
 5. Environmental Installation Environmental installation
involves ecological concerns
and it is a celebration of an
artist’s connection with the
beauty of nature, the natural
world and the environment.
Through this type of
installation, some artists
educate people about
environmental degradation
or directly address
environmental issues or
react to natural disasters
and calamities.

PUBLIC ART
Public art is: Similar to installation art, public art is influenced by human and social conditions and reflects
life and its many aspects. The construction of numerous commercial malls, parks, business centers and industrial
parks created the need for public art. Places where there are always a lot of people are good places to have public
art. Similar to installation art, viewers can interact with public art. Simultaneous activities may take place around the
artwork since it is located outdoors. It used to be that public art only involved monuments for heroes and religious
landmarks. But in the contemporary world, there is an increase in the demand of artworks reflecting modern
technology and designs that appeal to global taste. This challenges artists to expand their knowledge, skills, artistic
integrity and creativeness. To satisfy diverse demands of the contemporary world, artists need to expand their
choice of materials and methods and become aware of design that appeals to the global taste of public supporters.
Public art requires collaborative work and needs the services of different types of people, like other artists,
architects, engineers, plumber, civic leaders, community residents, design professionals, funding agencies and
construction teams. The communal process can enhance the artist’s creativity. Public art can be big enough to draw
attention to height, it can enclose the viewers, stimulate interaction or can show a historical event. The shape can
be abstract or realistic, or both, and it may be cast, carved, built, assembled or painted. It can stand in contrast to
its surroundings or be site-specific. It can express community values, enhance the environment, transform a
landscape, heighten the public’s awareness, or question assumptions about certain things.

Types of Public Arts Sample Explanation

1. Community Based Art Community-based art refers to
artistic activity based on
community setting. Any medium
can be used here as long as they
engage the members of the
community in interaction or
dialogue with the artist.
Community art is often based in
economically deprived areas
and is done with a community-
 oriented rooted approach. The
members of the community can
come together to express
concerns or issues through an
artistic process. The communal
artistic process acts as a cause to
trigger events or changes within
a community or even at a
national or international level.

2. Municipal Art  Municipal art is usually located

in squares, plazas, or in front of
government buildings, law
courts, airports, public
museums, or academic
institutions. The purpose of this
is to instill patriotism and
nationalism among the
community members. Also, it
serves as a historical landmark
to educate the young and inform
visitors and tourists.

3. Land Art Land art includes monumental

earthworks that interact with
nature and the environment.

4. Architectural Art Architectural art is used to

decorate the façade (front),
orchard, or enclosed concrete
structure where large number of
people come together. It forms
part of an architectural structure
or compound.

5. Commemorative Monuments Commemorative monuments

are sculptures, whether
individual or group of people,
who honor people for heroism
or for participation in historic
events. This can also be used to
immortalize events that affected
a large number of people in the
 country.

6. Design-based Public Art Design-based public art is

decorative and is usually located
in parks or commercial centers.
The design or theme matches
the buildings and its
surroundings to achieve unity
because the artwork is viewed in
relation to its natural and man-
made surroundings. Its
interaction with sunlight and
wind and its position in harmony
with its surroundings is
considered by the contemporary
artist.

7. Campaigned-based Public Art Campaign-inspired public art

promotes an idea by making
visible reminders to the public.

MIXED MEDIA ART

Mixed media art is: Contemporary visual artists like to combine materials to express an idea or simply to
reinvent things and divert them from their natural forms. Interesting effects can be achieved with the different mix
and combinations of media and creative variations of design, composition, color, and texture. When a combination
of materials are used, that is called mixed media art. It can be a combination of a painting and photographs, or stones
embedded on concrete, ink with pastel, or layers of textile painted with acrylic. The media put together in an artwork
can represent something, such as an idea, protest, bias, a position, a challenge. Any theme can be used. Mixed media
artists are not controlled by conventions of doing art. The artist reintroduces things in a new context by
experimenting and using different materials. A table can be made up into a flying machine or a bed of plastics shaped
into some form that is unimaginable and unidentifiable.
 Types of Mixed Sample 1 Sample 2 Explanation
Media Art
1. Collage Collage is where
materials and objects
are pasted over a flat
surface in an artistic
composition. It is
usually hung on the
wall.

2. Assemblage Assemblage is putting

objects together and
combining them in a
new context. Any
method of joining or
fastening is used to
make a three-
dimensional object. For
example, scraps like
cellphone batteries or
computer parts can be
assembled and
transformed into an
artwork. In
assemblage, the
objects used no longer
have their original
function, they become
artworks

PHOTOGRAPHY AND DIGITAL ART: TECHNOLOGY AIDED ART

Photography and digital art is Photography and digital art are the most accessible and manipulated art
forms used around the world. With modern technology, photography has changed. With the invention of mobile
devices with camera, anyone can now have an image-taking device. However, not all photographs are true to nature
as they can be reproduced, duplicated and manipulated. The viewer may not be looking at the photograph of a
person as they actually are in reality.
 Types of Photography
1. Nature photography
2. Photography and reality
3. Photographic altercation
4. Mobile photography
Sample Explanation
Nature Photography is
photography of landscapes and
things found in nature like plants
and wildlife. It can also be macro
shots of nature that is very close
shots to show patterns and
textures of nature.
Photography and reality can
present reality in its true form. If
words can describe a scene,
photography is able to show it.
Photographic alteration can
offer an illusion. Because of this,
photography (including digital
art) is said to be the most
powerful instrument of
information and education the
world has seen. Photographic
devices can be used for
entertainment, documentation,
reporting. But as technology
that can convert and edit images
in one touch, the natural can be
reinterpreted and the
photographer can hide and add
whatever he/she wishes.
Mobile photography is taking
photos using a mobile phone.
Quality and image resolution
depends on the phone camera
and photos can be printed as big
as 8x10 inches. However, if the
photo is printed bigger, the
photograph looks blurry and
pixelated because of limited
image resolution. Mobile phone
effects may be used to enhance
the photograph.
5. Photojournalism Photojournalism, as the name
suggests, is where the photo is
used in journalism. These are
photos that accompany
narratives in the newspapers,
magazines, and digital media to
give the readers a view of
persons, places and events.

Types of digital arts Sample Explanation

1. Electronic-aided digital art  Electronic-aided digital art, as
the name suggests, uses
electronics in the process or
presentation of the artwork

2. Non-figurative digital art Non-figurative digital art

disregard figures and anything
that looks like from nature. They
use geometric shapes, lines,
spaces, movement or color in
their composition.

3. Fantasy digital art Fantasy digital art involves many

figures, landscapes, objects and
other images that are not seen
in the real world. They create
worlds, universe, imaginary
creatures that transports the
viewer to another world that
seem without borders. They
take inspiration from myths,
legends, fantasy stories or
 create their own visual narrative

4. Digital art as design Digital art as design satisfies the

demand for digital art for the
business and commercial
industry, leisure and recreation,
airline and shipping industry,
and communication and media.
Contemporary digital art design
is popular with people from
urban places. The designs are
easily spread and shared
electronically since they are in
digital form.
