My first example of contemporary new media art is titled “Under Scan”. It is a large-scale public art project by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. The Installation was done at Trafalgar Square in November of 2008. The Public Portraits were at the Tate Modern Seminar Room in of September 2008. This involves hundreds of video-portraits projected onto the ground in Trafalgar Square. Anyone who was interested could have participated in this artwork by contributing their video portrait from September 19 to 21, 2008 at Tate Modern. The portraits were shot from above, as members of the public lie beneath a suspended camera. Each person could portray themselves any way they wanted to. I found this type of contemporary new media art very intriguing and I find it to be the next revolution in art.
