ART 1080 - iMe: Reinventing Yourself in the Digital Age
3 cr
Have you ever uploaded a photo to Facebook, viewed cats on Youtube, or conquered a video game with online teammates? Digital technology is a transformative force allowing new modes of global communication. In fact, with the advent of virtual realities like Second Life, you can reach beyond globalism and enter the realm of total imagination. Given these changes, how do you navigate this new world? In this seminar we will explore technology’s role in our lives. Through an interdisciplinary approach we will examine art, science and literature’s take on topics including Web 2.0, cybernetics, and virtual reality. We will look at how these topics have influenced robotics, viral videos and most importantly, you.
