What does history teach us about new media? How does artistic theory expand our thinking about the evolution of digital technologies and related virtual environments? Exploring new media through the lens of both history and theory creates a deeper understanding of our connected world. Students will investigate the development of digital media during key moments in history. Emphasis is given to theories that involve the social, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions of new media. We will discuss readings by established and emerging scholars and conduct academic research to further illuminate course topics. Learning activities include collaborative discussions, writings, case studies, and a final research project about new media. Prior to taking this course, students should take an advanced level course in digital arts, digital media, media studies, or the equivalent. This course was previously CUL-223544 History and Theory of New Media.
