Through the Digital Evolution era, New Media artists used the technology available to make images to be viewed on a screen. From projections to television, computers, devices, applications, and games – generations of creatives have manipulated, innovated, probed, and progressed the Tech industry tools they utilize to create and present art.
Erasing the boundaries that until now separated the parallel fields of Art :: Tech, New Media artists are transitioning from being users of available technology to makers of the next generation of innovation. The division of Art :: Tech has been broken through, and artists’ visions of what is technologically possible in the present is shaping our perspective future. Vive la Digital REvolution.

Egor Kraft in collaboration with Alexander Letsius (RU), New Now App, 2016
“New Now App” displays one enigmatic line of text running in an infinite loop: “…This very moment, has already become the past” etc. By relentlessly manifesting the present moment, the app is a monument to the irreversibility of the flow of time and the complexity of commanding attention in the digital age.
