当媒介以新的方式运作

New Methods of Operating the Media

本文试图探讨,我们是否可以通过不同的方式理解新媒体艺术的＂新＂,特别是在计算机和软件被运用于艺术创作之后？新媒体艺术强调的或许是媒介的运作方式,而不是媒介本身所具有的特殊性。当艺术家将一个原本不是用来生产艺术的媒介（比如,淘宝网,微信）转换为一个艺术媒介时,他事实上创造了一种新的运行这一媒介的方式,即对媒介的再创造。

This article questions if there is any alternative to understand the newness of new media art, especially alter computer and software are brought into tile realm of artistic creation？ What new media art emphasizes is the way a medium operates rather than the specificity of the medium itself. When the artist uses a non-for-art medium such as TaoBao.com or WeChat with an artistic purpose, he is actually creating a new method of operating a medium, that is, recreating tile medium.
