Makers and New Media Art
The Maker Movement and New Media Art are two closely related fields. The Maker Movement emphasizes hands-on creation and the core spirit of innovation and creative practice. New Media Art focuses on artistic innovation and invention, mainly using new media and existing digital technologies as tools and media for creation. The Maker Movement provides new forms of creative thinking and creative structures for New Media Art, making design no longer a purely creative process but rather a form of practice.
The Maker Movement values creating with one's hands, encouraging individuals to use their creativity to solve problems and create new things. It emphasizes the importance of learning by doing and the idea that anyone can be a creator. In contrast, New Media Art often explores the relationship between technology and society, using new media to create artworks that challenge traditional art forms and explore new methods of creative expression.
Maker
In recent years, makers have become a hot topic of discussion that cannot be ignored in the contemporary era. The reason is that its core theme is "do it by hand". Possess the ability to innovate and invent.
In this era, we are always dominated by the Internet. Tablets and mobile phones have been familiar since childhood. But over time, we are accustomed to thinking in images and images, and relying on others to tell us information, while ignoring the need to actively discover the joys of life. Breaking away from mobile phones and computer games, the creation of physical models must first be assembled. From a simple process, not only can you train the concept of space and structure, but you can also understand the physical response, and you can also train hand-eye coordination during operation. This is what Makers want. Emphasis on the "hands-on" spirit.
