General purpose

  • The Electronic Landscape engages the student in a broad examination of the role technology has played and continues to play in the development of new art forms. Topics/fields studied include net.art, telepresent / networked performance, code/interface interplays, language and new media, video art (digital and analog), sound art (digital and analog), tactical media,database/archival approaches, interactive art, open and collective works etc. The underpinnings of internet art will also be looked at (pop art, situationism, conceptual art, video art, fluxus, etc.).The practical component of this class will involve a detailed look at XHTML, CSS and JavaScript as well as introductions to video (Final Cut Pro) and sound (Audacity / Digital Performer), in both online and standalone manifestations.
  • The course consists in a weekly one-hour lecture focused on the presentation of artwork germane to the technological environment studied within the lab, as well as a useful summary of course requirements, readings and exposure of student work to the entire class. The course is divided into smaller lab sub-sections (of about 25 students each) in which technical materials pertaining to the production of projects are introduced and developed with the students in a workshop format. In the class following the due date of each assignment, each student’s work will be exposed in a critique environment, where the student will learn to critically assess the work of his/her peers and offer suggestions as to alternate / future creative or technical ramifications to the web, sound or video work at hand.
