VISM 6B04 New Media Art History [Not offered in 2014-15] 0.50 Credit(s) Seminar |
|
New media art has a complex triangulated ontology derived from the fields of science, art, and technology. Beginning in the nineteenth century, this course will trace these distinct histories coupled with emerging theoretical paradigms. Certain aspects of new media now taken for granted – immersion, interactivity, emergence – arose theoretically prior to their materialization via technology. Hence, with particular attention paid to the way we have written our futures, the course will also include prescient narratives from science fiction, film, and visual art. |
