New Technologies, New Critical Perspectives
0.50 Credit(s)
Seminar
The burgeoning fields of digital and new media bring forth unexpected challenges to the practice of art history and criticism. New technologies – whether utilizing the Internet, telepresence, virtual or augmented reality – cross disciplinary boundaries and bring art into integral relationships with science, engineering, artificial intelligence, robotics and biotechnology. This course will develop critical perspectives, terminology and theory relevant to post-1990 technologies and their use by artists. Students will gain breadth and depth in applying art historical methods and theories to contemporary new media art.
