57043 New Media Aesthetics

This subject introduces students to contemporary concerns in new media aesthetics through presentation of works and readings. The main focus is multimedia but other hybrid works such as sound/performance/multimedia installation are also considered. Interface design, use of sound, and the ways that new forms are being and can be developed are addressed critically and theoretically. Students examine their own work (including in production) and other works to tease out why certain forms are being reproduced and what creative developments in new media aesthetics are possible.
