Abstract
Our analysis of new media art reveals a fascinating interplay between artistic expression, ethical considerations, and philosophical influences. Ownership and originality (Egoism vs. Utilitarianism) emerged as key themes, with artists grappling with how to balance creative freedom with respecting existing works, particularly when using found footage. The blurring of reality through deepfakes and VR experiences (Deontology vs. Utilitarianism) presents another ethical challenge. While deepfakes can be used for satire, ensuring truthful representation and avoiding manipulation is crucial. Algorithmic bias (Utilitarianism & Social Justice) further complicates the landscape, potentially limiting artistic expression and perpetuating societal inequalities. utilitarianism encourages artists to create works with social impact, raising awareness of important issues or promoting positive change. Existentialism provides a framework for exploring themes of identity and existence in the digital realm, while deconstructionism inspires artists to challenge established norms and push the boundaries of traditional art forms. Accessibility remains a challenge in new media art (Utilitarianism). The high cost of software and equipment can limit participation, particularly for emerging artists. Preserving artwork in a constantly evolving digital landscape (Deontology) raises questions about fulfilling artists' responsibilities to their work and audience.
