Description

This course presents fundamental concepts and methods that underlie the use of computers in generating and processing digital works and examines them in the context of contemporary artistic practice in painting, photography, film, and video. The impact of computers, both present and potential, on the more traditional arts is discussed. Through the use of imaging audio and presentation software, students explore the various ways in which computers deal with images, sound and structures, adapting these methods to produce work of their own. Work by contemporary artists working in the digital medium is shown and examined on a regular basis.
