Numerical representation: Media can be represented useing math and by representing it in such a way it can be cleaned up using mathmatical principles.
Modularity: New media objects are composed of groups of something( like pixels) that make up the whole of the new media object.
Automation: By using Nurmerical representation and Modularity a new media object can be made "automated" or in other words the human can be removed from control and the new media object will still function.
Variability: A new media object can alter as needed to match changing equations.
Transcoding: Because of the computerization of media, the media must be "recoded" to fit in a computer format.
The change from old media to new media has had a significant affect on all areas of society, especially the arts( including writing). Artists have had to adapt how they use their art to be able to disseminate it to the public using computers.
I agree that computerization is changing a lot of things, especially in regards to the arts. Now, computerized images and designs are seen everywhere. Even traditional arts such as paintings can be viewed online. I wonder if there will come a day when there aren't actual museums, just virtual ones...
