10 Key Principles of New Media: Lev Manovich:The Languages of New Media

• By using montage to create a reality that is completely new to the viewer. (pg.xvii, xviii)
• The idea of having a continual process for viewers. Rather, than viewers experiencing different locations, different subjects, etc. through individual pictures, new media can be used to create a universal equality for viewers. (pg.xii)
• The use of new technology to create art. Through the use of new technology new media is not necessarily removing the basic principles of art but rather improving them through a new tool. (pg.xxiii)
• Combining various levels of perspective, space and time from the viewer's eye, as well as the creators. (pg.xxv)
• combining various techniques and "effects." (pg.xxvii)
• Using various techniques and effects to create a work that has artistic language, thus meaning, and just for stylistic purposes. (pg. xxviii)
• An attempt to go "beyond the simple database of the subject, techniques and operations of media and attempts to go beyond "simple human navigation through physical space." (pg.xxx)
• Combining different worlds to create a new reality, alloing them to "clash semantically rather than form a single universe." (pg. xix)
• Merging database and narrative into a new form. (pg.xxviii)
• The continued development of art by combining past artistic elements with new technology.
