Ashley Villagrana, for AD 100
One of the spectacular notable New Media artists was Cory
Arcangel who created a cartridge that was related to another cartridge game
idea. The name of it was Super Mario Clouds of whom the other artists with Cory
developed a game where it would only show the cloud and sky background of the
game of the old Mario Brothers. Manipulating the circuitry of the inside of the
game cartridge they were able to create such a magnificent feat. To go inside the circuitry and edit out the players and background is on a whole other step on going beyond manipulation and creating a magnificent piece of artistry in New Media Art. To me it sounds astounding because what I thought previously is what you saw on the screen was what you can’t change through catridge but through program only. Another amazing creation that was done by Cory but wasn’t mentioned in the reading was
Pizza Party in the year of 2004, which was a software package that allowed you
to make orders and get pizza. Inserting commands of what type of pizza would
allow the order to go through Domino’s and get some pizza. The fun part was actually inserting a command on this software that you actually got a real food order on the other end. Cory Arcangel made
such notable software of creation.

Another known artist would be Ken Goldberg and his creation
of the Telegarden in 1995. This remarkable hardware that is operated by a
robotic arm allows the people all over the world to take care of a garden
plants and flowers. Seeing and handling
all aspects of the lighting, watering, and planting for the garden, this
machine in its own time was a remarkable and unique piece of its time. That was the aspect that caught the people’s attention that they were able to control such a robotic arm to what they desired to do. I was fascinated with the idea of having a robot do the job a person was only suppose to do and take care of something that can be controlled from over a long distance. Then
another creation would be the Tele-Actor a tour guide who leads people to
unknown places and keeps the audience entertained. The device is a helmet set up with Video
camera and has a cellphone to receive directions as to what to do. Amazingly
people online can vote for the next moves of the Tele-actor and get educational
feedback. Another remarkable step into broadening the world through being in certain places and being able to explore around areas. I feel that with this technology we can explore parts of the world that people can’t afford to take a trip to and still feel the excitement of traveling and experiencing new areas. Thus the robotic device allows users to become explorers through a
Tele-Actor.
