The New Media Art world needs to understand better art history and the knowledge of contemporary art. New Media art is often working harder at proving it is different from contemporary art but still is art. When it should spend more time trying to figure out where it fits in exactly in contemporary art. When it comes down to it art is art and it is going to fall under similar umbrellas in many ways, so there is no reason to fight against that when they could work to understand each other to better their own practices.

Medium-specificity is typically used in contemporary art criticism. The New Media Art world now has changed to “post-media.” This being said, the specific artist types (painter, printmaker, sculptor, ect.) are not longer as definite. An artist has this much broader definition, because new media attains the same status as old media. The artist are creating new ways of art by combining artistic practices creating a blur between the different artistic concentrations.

In the last part of the essay it says, “all contemporary art needs to be media literate,” and then it goes to say that New Media Art must be familiar with art history and know contemporary art. With both contemporary art and New Media Art exploring further each others worlds, so they will be able to better understand this New Media Art and where it much go in the categories of art history.
