Media Arts & Visual Culture: Interactive Zones
Course No. AC 388 Credits: 3.0
What is “interactivity”? A recent publication is titled Total Interaction, but what does that mean? In this course we will look closely at the history, theory, and practice of the interactive as a facet of contemporary art, design, and media culture. We will explore thematic zones or territories of the interactive both real and imagined, including: cybernetic systems, sci-fi and popular culture, visionary design, interactive animations and massive multi-player games, convergent technology, responsive environments, and “A.I.” (i.e., artificial intelligence). A previous course in modern and contemporary art or visual culture is assumed for all participants. Prerequisites: AC 150 and AC 250 or Corequisite: AC 250. 3 credits.
