In your opinion, is it possible to argue that new media art does not have to be linked to technology? If so, how?
This is a pretty abstract question - for instance, I consider paint a
technology. The whole "new media" term seems a little ill fated,
like what happens when the next new thing comes along.
All that being said … it might be more helpful if you provided an
example of "new media" that does not link to technology - this way
there could be a point of reference we might discuss.

In as much as new media art is a philosophy rather than a medium, then it's safe to say that work that includes "post-net" structural components into it can do the trick, ie:
- community based art projects, where the audience is a "user" or participant
- collaborative art projects, particularly over time or space
So a lot of pre-digital art from the 60's counts, in my definition, as new media. Technology is just a natural evolution to the "new" perceptions of engaging media as it was back in the day.
Two cents.
