What is Digital Media?

What is New Media Digital Design?In simple terms: Digital Media is a dramatic way to demonstrate your organization’s identity and message. With animation, sound and collaborating communication, Digital Media demonstrates products and services to viewers as a momentous experience that your audience would certainly enjoy. But, the complex definition of the History of New Media is an outline of the revolutionary artists and scientists who have brought about the conclusion of margins that have customarily existed between the artistic and the hi-tech disciplines. “unknown author” Well, it is an innovative term used for all web media. This includes websites, TV on the web, Web Blogs, and Digital correspondence and many more are all New Media. As you’ll see and hear more people and organizations are looking to the Internet to find information, to educate themselves and to be amused by what’s happening outside of their box. The rapid growth of digital design has overwhelmed the vast majorities of individuals that are scrambling to keep up. But, who makes this happen? People from around the globe have contributed in digital Media for example; http://thanksroy.org/about. He was one of the force behind digital archiving.

1957 – 2007

Influential artistic pioneers have made a huge impact on today’s Digital Design, view more at http://www.artmuseum.net/w2vr/timeline/Paik.html Many enthusiasts of today’s multimedia shy away from attempts to recognize a leading theme behind the materialization of this medium. Keeping that in mind, reading and researching that sentence has taken my inquisitiveness to expand my knowledge seeing that I will be within this realm. My certainty – is that they were the product of premeditated intent on the part of multimedia’s pioneers, who were aiming for quite logical goals. I’ve come up with five key concepts primarily to digital forms of multimedia; Integration, Interactivity, Hypermedia, immersion and Narrative. Integration: in computer science, allows data from one device or software to be read or manipulated by another, resulting in ease of use Interactivity: technologies where humans and animals are able to interact with and change the course of an artwork. Hypermedia: elements of an extended hypertext system in which all elements are linked so that the user can move between them at will .Immersion: is the state where you cease to be aware of your physical self. It is frequently accompanied by intense focus, distorted sense of time and effortless action Narrative: In film theory, narrative refers to the processes by which a story is both presented by the filmmaker and interpreted by the viewer. The term must be distinguished from narrative, which refers to the story itself.There are extensive amounts of resources to further investigate the History of Multi Media. (Too many to list) But, what does the future hold? Where will we be and what will we be able to do? Frightening? Or Progression? When I look around, I perceive a world, looking through a Looking Glass with fantasies of being transported into another world through the vast growth of human-computer interactivity. To a realm, a primal desire of virtual desire. What do you see in the Looking Glass?
