This module provides an introduction to new media art as an established art form. It employs proposal and project-based work to allow students to examine the multi-disciplinary production and theoretical approaches appropriate to the critical discourse of new media art. Students will be exposed to various content creation tools and the module encourages conceptual rigour and critical understanding of the content, thus positioning the creation of new media technologies within a fine art context. This module emphasises that contemporary artists need to understand the historical, cultural and embodied implications of art technology. The module covers a wide range of issues and ideas relevant to the specific and subtle conditions that new media art may evoke as well as the wider technological signification of cultural and global contexts.
