The new media, being often about the moment, movement, the senses combined, interactivity...is sometimes poorly expressed in print. As a student one of my favourite resources for new media and multimedia studies is Media Art Net. A project founded in Germany, the goal of Media Art Net is to defy the limitations of the printed word through a combination of embedded multimedia and critical text that is readily available to the public for free. It also offers links to several online-only art projects. One that I really enjoyed was the Cyborg Web Shop, where you can login to re-create yourself as a virtual cybernetic organism. The first thing I bought was the alcohol eliminator, "An indispensable means for those driving back after a night out."
