| Are virtual cultures an escape from the social world? Can technology enable community? This course is a cross-disciplinary opportunity for art and design students to explore these questions and to collaborate together, carrying concepts of virtual community from research through to the creation of prototypes for interactive projects. Students will present small-group seminars on examples of virtual communities and on debates arising from lectures and case studies. Online networks - from newsgroups and multi-user domains, to art, gaming and activist exchanges will be examined within contexts of technological and social change. |
