New Media Dictionary: Part VI: Telematics

The New Media Dictionary project [1] was born out of the desire to name and define the many and varied forms of art that have developed in conjunction with technology. A whole lexicon is being created to describe the many processes, techniques, instruments, and critical and aesthetic concepts—in short, the entire emerging culture—of this immense laboratory workshop. The terms selected for this issue come from the field of Telematics. The terms and definitions have been chosen by the Groupe de recherche en arts médiatiques (GRAM). Interested artists and researchers are invited to submit additions and comments to Section Editor Louise Poissant [2]. These contributions will be added to the electronic version of the dictionary, with credit to the author. In this way, the New Media Dictionary will gradually become a collective project, in which each significant contribution will find its place. These definitions were prepared by Suzanne Leblanc.
