Abstract

Modern media art is one of the artistic development appeared in the context of contemporary arts. Appearance of contemporary arts became possible through departure from components and intents of the modern arts, among which emphasis put on the artist's subject was the most important component and contemporary arts were seeking to modify it. Finally, subject-centeredness of the modern arts led to abstraction and autonomy of arts; but the current of contemporary arts which was a critical reaction to the modernist arts, paved the way for arts to become heteronymous. Among consequence of this heteronomy, we may mention the dependence on global media of arts so that media influenced arts more than all other components, and caused the artist's subject in the contemporary arts to be weakened and then eliminated in the modern media art.
