Content
What is media art, and why is it relevant to us? The class aims to provide an entry point for anyone interested in the intersection of art and technology, where art gets more creative possibilities through the introduction of latest development in technology, and technology is imagined differently through the lens of art. We will go through early generative art, internet and browser-based art to contemporary examples to look at how artists engage with technology: as a creative tool, a subject of reflection, and a weapon of rebellion.
- Introduce students to the field of media art by showcasing key historical moments with the works of contemporary practitioners
- Develop analytical skills to approach media arts from different perspectives
- Cultivate a critical understanding of digital technology by exploring its historical evolution and its social, political, and environmental dimensions
