Hi
I have a rather clumsy art history question that I'm hoping someone on the list might be able to help me with...
I'm looking for examples of media art works or projects that have changed their medium over time (or perhaps involve different forms of media simultaneously), for which specific forms of media are less important than their being made using (electronic) media generally. Perhaps something as simple as a longitudinal video art project that shifted from VHS to digital video; or maybe something where interactivity came to the fore as new technology became available.
This will highlight my ignorance of digital art history, but the nearest thing that I can think of by way of analogy would be the Grand Theft Auto series of video games, which made the shift from a 2D game to a 3D game while retaining the basic themes and objectives of the franchise - ie GTA is a recognisable series, despite the change in the type of game.
Thanks in advance for your help. Happy to summarise responses back to the list, of course.
Thanks
Danny
