Today's lecture was hard to me. I completely understood only 'what are the pictorialists'.
Modernist are concerne about 'meaning' more than 'way'.(=>im-mediacy) And avant garde is concerne 'way' and 'meaning'.(=> hyper-mediacy) And I think new media includes all.

I thought about 'am I conputer scientist or artist?'. ahaaaa, I'm student.
# NOTE
Deferred future of new media
- because of technological underdevelopment?
- be used and nuderstanding according to older, existing practices and ideas
The veiw of modernist aesthetic
- mediun has its own kind of essence
- medium has to be genuinely new from the past and old media
experimentalism
imperialist

- Do media proceed by a process of ruptures or decisive breaks with the past?
- Can a medium transcend its historical contexts to deliver an 'entirely new language'?
- Do media have irreducible and unique essences?
** Gene Youngblood
- The full aesthetic potential of this medium will be realised only when computer artists come to the instrument from art rather than computer science
- be rescued from the tyranny of perceptual imperialists
** Steve Holzmann
- existing uses of new media fail to 'exploit those special qualities
