multimedia artist

Mixed-medium creative professional

A multimedia artist creates work across multiple media or formats—combining visual art, sound, video, digital technology, or interactive elements.

The term emerged as artists moved beyond single disciplines like painting or sculpture to incorporate emerging technologies: She's a multimedia artist working with video installations and sound design.

The designation is broad enough to cover everything from digital collage to immersive virtual reality experiences.
