In the article, Hovagimyan
differentiated several sorts of media and gave some examples to demonstrate the
features of each one. What I found interesting is that he said “meaning for any
art work is a communication process, a shared tribal agreement on the meaning
of any icon, symbol, etc. In this sense, meaning had more to do with language
and the evolving nature of linguistic forms. I place art in the category of a
language as well” I believed that even with the sense of “Art in the Age of
Mechanical Reproduction”; reproduction gives art pieces new definitions. For
instance, the world-known reproduction L. H. O. O. Q. by Marcel Duchamp
refreshes the traditional method of viewing an artwork. Also, it influenced artists
from 70s and 80s.
Another thing came into my
mind when I was reading the “cross media” part in the article was that The Da
Vinci Code from Dan Brown could be an example of Cross Media. The novel used
the mass media as a medium to represent another kind of media.
Also, there was a further exploration
in the last paragraph. “The art is ever changing.” This sentence reminded me several
things. By the time every invention was created, there was no way to imagine
what it could achieve and how would it be in the future. With this in mind, the
way of transmission varied a lot in years. Especially in the 21st
century, the fast spreading information and prevalent technology lead artists a
way to make creative artworks. I believe that there is no singer would release
their songs out without editing their vocal. Also, exaggerations were made to
mass medias, especially the ones with commercial uses. On the one hand, the
involving of computer technologies may make the artworks more aesthetic. On the
other hand, I may consider some kinds of editing were too much that would fool
the audiences’ eyes.
