New media is transient and ephemeral. It allows forms to shift between contexts and modes of address. It complicates our notions of authorship and representation. It alienates and empowers communities. As new generations
of artists simultaneously encounter the freedoms and constraints of new digital media, the evolution of digital art and the circumstances that govern its creation and reception continues.
This studio seminar will
address
the impact of new media in our society through readings, discussions and artistic experimentation with digital forms and formats. Students will investigate the conceptual issues specific to new media with the digital
tools
available in print, video, or web-based formats. Projects will be examined for their strength in visual communication, formal and conceptual strategy, and effect. Previous experience with digital imaging, video,
animation,
or web design is helpful but not necessary for the industrious student.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
