The term ‘Interactivity’ persists as both a buzzword and a fraught concept within communication theory. For 1950s information theorists (e.g. Shannon and Weaver, 1949) interactivity denoted two way communication between either humans, animals or machines, but today it has become exclusively hardwired to the telecommunications and computing sectors. The use and misuse of the term in ‘new media a...

Discusses a new trend among Japan’s giant electronics and telecommunications companies and ministries: a concerted effort to develop a multimedia society like the one growing in the U.S. Describes efforts by Japanese computer and electronics conglomerates to promote multimedia by creating multimedia divisions, acquiring new media technology through joint ventures, and shifting from hardware to ...

It's not surprisingly when entering this site to get the book. One of the popular books now is the television and new media must click tv. You may be confused because you can't find the book in the book store around your city. Commonly, the popular book will be sold quickly. And when you have found the store to buy the book, it will be so hurt when you run out of it. This is why, searching for ...

The selection and use of media depend largely on how users perceive such media. A central aspect of the “new media” is their interactivity, but how users perceive this phenomenon has rarely been researched. This study provides an in-depth investigation into the perception component of interactivity and develops a compact scale for its measurement. According to psychological approaches, practica...

Recent developments in the use of technologies in education have provided unique opportunities for teaching and learning. This paper describes the results of a survey conducted at Western University (Canada) in 2013, regarding the use of media by students and instructors. The results of this study support the assumption that the media usage of students and instructors include a mixture of tradi...

This paper outlines the collaborative development of a catalogue of moving images and new media art using the Dublin Core as a starting point. Conventional methodologies are superceded by the need to accommodate a culture of information sharing and the uncertainties of rapidly evolving technologies. Multiple inputs and outputs create unexpected points of resistance where the borders of a new cu...

This paper makes a critical analysis of new media art working with data interfaces and visualisation – data practice or data art. Pursuing the distinction between information and data, it is demonstrated that data art often turns away from information in an attempt to present the data itself. In the process, data art constructs figures of data as unmediated, immanent, material and underdetermin...

New media as they are established by information and communications technology demand for reconsidering the notion of a medium as a carrier of information and with it the concepts for representation, organization, processing and dissemination of information. We explore a general model for media, the Computational Media Metaphor and utilize Rewriting Logic and Labelled Deductive Systems to model...

This paper presents and discusses data on the use of technology in general and of Web 2.0 platforms and services in particular by students at the University of Milano-Bicocca. The data was obtained from a survey on media consumption habits and usage of new web technologies conducted by the university’s Observatory on New Media, NuMediaBiOs. Research of this kind provides a valuable basis for th...
