Digital practices and tools have had a profound effect on contemporary art. This studio/seminar explores both painting and pixels as fluid and malleable methods of creation that can be used to re-distribute materials, build up surfaces, cover up mistakes and develop concepts. Disciplinary boundaries are challenged through discussions about medium specificity and a studio exploration of hybrid practices. Through lectures, slide/video demonstrations, gallery visits, assigned readings, and two studio projects, students develop critical views and methodologies that allow them to further their contextual awareness of art and conceptualize interdisciplinary approaches to their own work.
