This assignment asks you to identify and profile a new media artist whose life or work you find
particularly inspirational.
Some questions to consider:
• Who are they and what do they do?
• How has their practice developed or changed over time?
• What makes this artist a “new media” artist? What make their work “new media”?
• What are some of their projects that particularly inspire you? Why?
• How and where has their work been presented and what can you learn from this?
• Have they ever experienced any difficulties or challenges that have influenced the
development of their work?
I encourage you to think very broadly about what might constitute “new media” with respect to this
assignment. Think historically. Think globally. This will help broaden the available pool of artists
and creative practices to consider, and may help you find inspiration in places you might not have
thought of before.
To help you in your profile, please explicitly consider AT LEAST TWO of the artist’s projects. As
well, you will be required to find AT LEAST THREE scholarly articles to help with you develop your
arguments as to why the artist and their work can be properly considered “new media”.

What makes they do make them call new media artist practice. Not declare it what comes after it : “The are new media arstist because…what work, what context
