Tonkin's Examples of the Principles of Media Arts

Principles of Media Arts


1) Interactivity
Interactive media art works involve viewer participation in the art work itself. Common interactive media art works include interactive installations,performance art, and web-based art.

What are your thoughts on Vincent Morisset’s Arcade Fire Interactive video for “Reflektor”?  Open in Google Chrome.

2) Duration
Refers to time and how its perception can be manipulated and presented in media art works.It can also be used to describe the temporal nature of those art works that exist for only a limited time.

Manipulating durations allows the artist to have more control over time and space,  giving another dimension to their work. 
3) Hybridization
Is the technique used in creating art works in which genres, styles, concepts,materials, media, and forms are combined to create new “hybrid” forms.
Check out this art student from OCAD's work.  Why do you think this is an example of Hybridization?

4) Point of View
Point of view can be either conceptual or physical.Conceptual points of view include internal, external, subjective, objective, cultural, political, and social viewpoints. Physical points of view include bird’s eye, worm’s eye, eye level,360 degree, internal, micro, macro, and telescopic viewpoints.

This is classic example of POV.  This was unusual for directors during this time and was considered a bold statement.
