The Journal of Aesthetics and Science of Art

This study is about art in the post-digital media era. The post-digital media era is the period after digital media. This means that another medium situation different from before is developing focusing on digital media, not getting out of the digital media era. Therefore, this study explains the reason why the medium situation of the present time is defined as post-digital media and the characteristics of post-digital media. Then, this study defines digital media art and performance as representative art in this medium situation and explains common and different points between these two. Both digital media art and performance are called art with no work and have interactivity with the audience. In particular, these two forms of art deny concepts of material works, based on the characteristic as art with no work. Nevertheless, digital media art and performance deny materiality focusing on repeatability and onceness, respectively. This is the difference between these two forms of art. Interactivity is the same. Digital media art emphasizes medialized perception focusing on media, while performance emphasizes non-medialized perception excluding media. Based on these common and different points, this study explains digital media art and performance and considers the point that these two forms of art could meet and the future prospects.
