New Media in Art, 18-28

This second section of our book included several new ideas about art. One of them that piqued my interest was that art became minimalist, and this was somehow linked to ideas expressed in poetry. This change in art occurred with the furthering of different art movements as they rose to prominence. The idea that someone took poetry and applied those sort of rules to physical, non-verbal art pieces is interesting. It just goes to show that in the light of new methods, almost anything can be applied to art. Overall, however, this section was more of a review of art history that I have already learned about. I'm interested to see what else this book has to offer in terms of the explanation of new media art and artists.
