Example of Contemporary New Media Art #8

Example of Contemporary New Media Art #8


My eighth example of contemporary new media art is titled, “Follow Through” and was co-commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and Antenna Audio. It was exhibited as a mobile, audio-visual artwork and is accessible to museum spectators using portable media players. This project was created by both Jennifer Crowe and Scott Paterson and was initiated December 1, 2005 through January 29, 2006. This exhibition was inspired by the artist’s observations that the museum spectators would regularly display passive and lack luster body language observing the art on display. The artists are trying for the museum goers to have a more active role with this exhibition. The process involves the action of contemplating or interpreting the artwork by the museum spectators.
