Module Indicative Content
This course extends the ideas explored in Introduction to New Media Art both in terms of practice and theory. At Level 3 students will be expected to present their work to the class and write an extended statement about the work at the end of the module. At this level students develop an extended critical dialogue about how meaning is created through their existing studio practice in fine art. Students will negotiate how this dialogue may be able to be expressed in one or more areas of new media including: photography, film/video, interactive media, mobile technologies, sound, sensor based technologies or online artefacts. Projects will take on a more complex agenda than at Level 2 and require a greater ability to embrace exploration and experimentation while considering integrating these new methods into their creative process. In order to develop an awareness of these movements and understand the intentions of the artists, the artwork of a variety of computer artists will be discussed.
