Christian Boltanski is a French installation artist who is well known for manipulating light and photos to create an eerie tone that calls upon historical tragedies. Although his work does not represent the most cutting edge use of technology, it is in fact a "new media." He often uses photos from old newspaper obituaries, but then uses technology to enhance and zoom in on the image of a face. He then uses spotlights and their wires to create an uncomfortable feeling.
