Lev Manovich in his book "The Language of New Media" defines new media as new cultural forms, which depend on computers for presentation and distribution: web sites, virtual worlds, virtual reality, multimedia, computer games, computer animation. Lev Manovich is a Professor at the Visual Arts Department, University of California - San Diego (UCSD) where he teaches new media art and theory.
I started this blog saying that new media is media in transition. Media in transition is the direct result of the numerical representation condition of new media at first. Secondly, new media is media in transition because people wants to access it from the most convenient device. User content generated such as photos captured with the mobile phone goes to online communities; videos of important news go to friends and the major channel news at the same time. Music downloads go to MPEG players. That's what "media in transition" means to me.
...Second Life puzzles me!
