Media format shaped throughout the history around certain technique of storage, transmission, and media culture.
Media practices are consciously (re)designed at various levels for/by/with ‘users.’ For instance, the software and application design are targeting professionals, while web design and game design considering the media market and media culture. Design of digital advertising (both commercial or political) across social media are similarly sensitive to the information generated about the users.
Media art practices are usually a controversial field. Many art historians pose contra-arguments for the concept of media arts. Media are usually viewed as instruments of artistic expressions and they consider contemporary media art in the broader category of contemporary art. From the media studies perspective, there is, however, a scope to argue for the concept of media art. Media art are encompassing a wide-range of practices from exploring artistic aesthetics, to (re)construction of media practices, criticisms of mainstream media, media experiment, media avant-garde movements, expanding the perceptions and consciousness, which bring media culture and media literacy into new fronts.
