Like a pencil, a computer is a tool shared by many artistic disciplines, not a medium that defines one. Thus, phonography, photography, typography, and videography can share the same workstation while continuing as independent practices. However, this shared tool also opens possibilities of new genres that integrate these different practices. The burgeoning popularity of the Internet has created a social site that demands such innovations of any artistic intervention. Computer Arts is an interdisciplinary seminar that will explore the new genres possible with these new media. We will examine works and read theoretical writings in the related disciplines of radio, video, installation, and performance that shed light on the possibilities a nd pitfalls of the interdiscipline of computer arts.
