Details about this class
Hello! Thanks for your interest in ART 103: Understanding New Media Arts (ONLINE)!
This course offers a history of the relationship of art and media, covering objects ranging from photography, video, digital video and installation to sound and light-based works, performance, and social practice. The course examines technological developments that have affected and transformed perception and representation and considers the impact of time-based art, mass culture, and global electronic networks (Internet). A historical perspective will be introduced by examining the influence of new media on various avant-garde movements including Cubism and Dada. It will be fun!
Some topics we'll cover are:
- Early Video Art
- Digital Video and Installation
- Light, Sound, and Land Art
- Institutional Critique
- Social Practice Art
- Performance Art
There is no purchased textbook for this course. All readings and other learning resources will be provided via our course D2L page. Learning activities include: discussion, quizzes, and a final reflection. This is an online, asynchronous class.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the course. I'm happy to help :)
