AB The main theme exposed in this article is articulated on the centrality thatthe new media have assumed in the academic research of contemporary art theory. Thecase studies analyzed derive from a direct knowledge of the experiments conductedat the Comparative Media Studies, the Media Lab and the Program in Art, Culture,and Technology (ACT) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of thestate-of-the-art institutions on contemporary debate that sees new media and artisticcreativity relating in a single field of research. Some of the visual artists examinedhere were members of the MIT community, contributing not only to the prestige ofthe institution, but also to a paradigm shift in the method by which a work of art iscreated, designed and perceived. Joan Jonas, New York artist and lecturer emeritus atACT, has conducted avant-garde visual experiments aimed at combining the relationshipbetween language and image, always using new performatic and digital aestheticswith which to narrate her personal visions. The artists Krzysztof Wodiczko and AntoniMuntadas, for over forty years at ACT have dedicated part of their research to theanalysis of the interrelation between technology, artistic languages and social communication.Their artistic production stems from the use of new technologies that make itpossible to overlap between literary and visual codes, thus proposing an alternative tothe long tradition that separates the arts relegating them to autonomous practices.
