Literatúra nových médií očami (niektorých) poľských bádateľov
New media literature through the eyes of (some) Polish researchers

Summary/Abstract: The strong development of the Net, which is a decentralized democratic space for communication, as well as for existence itself and (artistic) creation, has on the one hand drawn the attention of part of the scholarly community from various backgrounds (with media analyses commenced in Poland by researchers into audiovisual culture progressively engaging the attention of sociologists, culture theorists, literary scholars and many others), while on the other hand this Net has become the ‘living environment’ for the young generation, which has moved on from mere reading/user experience of new media works to their mature reflection and theoretical consolidation within the humanities and sometimes even to artistic performances realized within the digital environment. Several initially minor projects (Ha!art, Techsty) have grown into a major platform bringing together, promoting and exploring new media art. Their respect for traditional research tools combines with new ways of viewing remediated art. This article is an attempt to reconstruct and analyse this theoretical and artistic reflection, taking into account the specific nature of its realization.
