| description: |
This course provides an introduction to critical studies of digital media. Students will learn how to analyze the philosophical, political, and cultural forces and foundations that constitute, contextualize and are catalyzed by the technologies and techniques of digital media. We will read a number of historically significant texts from the last sixty years that helped define digital media. Lectures, sections, and demos will complement the readings by introducing students to a number of methodologies useful for the study and presentation of digital media. Throughout the term students will work on projects to explore, analyze and participate in some part of the Internet. By the end of the quarter students will be both critical observers of and participants in digital media. |
