Pick up the book "Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art" by Scott McCloud. It's basically a comic book about not just comics, but other forms of media as well since comics share a lot of traits with images, film, and other forms of art. I have read it cover to cover countless times, and each time I had something new to take away from it:

There are also a lot of artists who combine technology and art in various ways. Hito Steyerl has been doing this for many years through video and art installations. I suggest checking out her 2013 short film "How Not to be Seen: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File":
