When Pokemon Go became an instant phenomenon, my husband and I decided to give it a try. We walked through the park and saw groups of people roaming around the empty field watching their cell phones. It was a funny but striking moment to see people getting back to nature as the result of a new media cultural innovation.

We do not even have to try; new media will gradually permeate our lives and become part of our reality. Google Maps, social media, YouTube, Pokemon Go, smartphones, drones, 3D printers, robots — all of our generation’s shared buzzwords will reshape our minds and become our nostalgia. And new media artists constantly reflect this metamorphosing reality like fragmented mirrors.
