The article focuses on one of the most apperent challenges that the digital medium poses to traditional art world, mainly to museums and galleries on how to present and preserve the new media art works and how museums and galleries has to adjust themselves to deal with this new technology. Since new media art work has changed various concepts related to an art work such as being active, dynamic, progressive and interactive, it also shifted the attention to the process rather than the end object. Hence the way how these works are presented and documented forms a novel issue for the area of museumology. As it is discussed in the article;
"While an artwork that needs to be experienced over an extended period of time poses a challenge perse, the time-based nature of new media art is far more problematic than that of film/video, which still presents itself as a linear finished "product". New media art, however, is potentially dynamic and non-linear."
I find this article interesting mainly beacuse it poses attention to a highly practical side of what digital media has challenged. Another reason for me to choose this article is that it also contains a discussion about the "new media" as a term and criticizes it as being so wide and operating as an umbrella term, hence remaining insufficiant to refer to the characteristics of digital medium which is highly hibrid. It also makes the point that every period of time in history has its own new media which is the digital one for us right now.
