Course description
What will you study?
You will examine the histories, institutions, technologies, forms and meanings of conventional new media, and become familiar with key theoretical and aesthetic concepts developed through practical and analytical assessments. The course approaches conceptual, intellectual and subject-specific skills from at least three vantage points, defined broadly as ‘technical’, ‘digital arts’ and ‘analytical-theoretical’ approaches.
You will examine fundamental theoretical questions about digital media, gain a critical understanding of the principles and experiences of interface design, study the professional and practical considerations of digital media production, explore and uncover telecommunications technologies that help to provide a rich online experience, and consider present and future convergence technologies.
