Readings "The Language of New Media"

"The Language of New Media"- Lev Manovich
This reading fit in with our first week discussions in which we defined New Media through they eyes of Lev Manovich who categorizes new media by:

• numerical representation
• modularity
• automation
• variability
• cultural transformation

Using these categories, Manovich works through his theory that New Media is defined by its own set of languages.

The most important part of this reading that I took away was the section on transformation. Through numerical representation, modularity,automation, and variability, transformation of culture is made possible through the language of New Media.
