Formulary for New Media

Internet media has become stale and commercial, and the article calls for a "New Media" built on a new spirit rather than new technology. It says New Media should break out of platform formats, invite audience participation, and may choose limits like handmade or small-group distribution instead of infinite scale. As examples, it cites Chia Amisola's work, Cindy Lee's album Diamond Jubillee, released as a .zip file with pay-what-you-want downloads, and Gary Hustwit's generative ENO documentary, in which each screening uses a different edit. It also highlights Metalabel as a hub for the movement, with works including Molly Soda's "mollysstuff" and the Dark Forest Collective's "Post-Individual."
