Software engineering products and processes are important in the production of new media art as new media artworks heavily depends on software. We have run a literature review and analyzed papers published in computer science journals and conferences to establish a knowledge base of the multidisciplinary field of software engineering and art with focus on interactive installation art. In additi...

Images swirl on a screen. A controller in front of it invites you to grab on and start playing. Is this a game? Or is it art? How can you tell the difference between a computer game and new media art?

The code that drives the imagery is a notational form akin to musical notation. sprite(spriteNum).trails = true pAngle = random(360) startH = random(440)+75 startV = random(280)+75 if random(2) = 1 then pAngleVector = -1 else pAngleVector = 1 end if ...

Digital archivists and traditional digital forensics practitioners have significant points of convergence as well as notable differences between their work. This paper provides an overviewof howdigital archivists use digital forensics tools and techniques to approach their work, comparing and contrasting archival with traditional computer forensics. Archives encounter a wide range of digital ma...

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 Conventional methodologies are superceded by the need to accommodate a culture of information sharing and the uncertainties of rapidly evolving technologies.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...
