While browsing we-make-money-not-art.com, I found it difficult to chose a piece of work that represtend a "New Media Literacy." I came across an interactive ball that was trapped in the gallery space and would create charcoal squiggles on the white walls it bounced off of. Though I thought the process was the most interesting part of the exhibit, I realized it did not exactly display any certain NML... After re-reading the article, and checking out www.newmedialiteracies.org, I revisited we-make-money-not-art.com and came across a better example of artwork portraying a NML.
Thinking about Play as a New Media Literacy, I cam upon an awesome art exhibit from Hasselt, Belgium. The Numan / For Use exhibit at the House for Contemporary Art Z33 is an exhibit consisting of multiple layers of flexible nets that are suspended in mid-air. It forms a sort of floating landscape that visitors of the exhibit are encouraged to climb on and explore. The artwork explores ideas of "instability, levitation and regression." It reminds me of a net that hung in a room at my brother's MIT fraternity which was said to once hold over 26 people!!
