Art the Experiment

As a result to my investigation of 'New Media' i have set up a blog called 'Art the Experiment'.
The blog has been set up for at shorts skills session at NWHC. The session includes a range of students specialising in a mix of new media digital arts. Short Skills is a six week session in which the students are given the opportunity to take subjects outside of their specialisms.

So for six weeks i decided to discuss and research different subjects on 'new media'.
Every session uploading research examples of artists or installations subjects onto the blog, initially discussion them and giving a description of the intention of the surrounding the subject matter and then allowing the students to research and comment on the subject themselves, with the use of their personal blog page.
The sessions topics are
1) Throwies
2) Video Artists
3) Flash Mobbing
4) Net Art

After the sessions were completed 2 students have taken their study to the extreme by organising with the help of 'The Neighbourhood' plans to hold a new media related festival. The festival will incorporate Live Art by The Jam Factory's graphic designer Gavin Strange, Laser tag display, found on 'Graffiti Research lab' website, a 'Throwies' Display, also found on Graffiti Research lab website, graffiti art workshops, v-jams and live bands.
