This is an interesting article. What I am concerned with is the idea
that new media arts, in opposition to media arts, is a genre defined as
an archaic notion of categories and as such is societies of control
against a free media arts. Which is to say, new media arts is a sort of
ideological prison.

for artists like Jablonowski, J. Visser, Broersen & Lukács, Maurer, and
others in this show, the distinction between digital and analogue
artistic media no longer seems relevant, and why for them there is no
ideological obligation to submit to the aesthetic limitations of the
epoch-making technologies.
It has been one of the grave misconceptions of 'new media art' to assume
that the new technologies would break with the paradigms of
representation, perception and cognition to an extent that the effects
of that break could exclusively be articulated by means of these very
technologies. However, as this misconception withers, only the label
Media Art - in the sense of 'art based on electronic or digital media' -
will be a thing of the past;
