This subject explores how media arts aesthetics work through engaging the senses and evoking emotions. It provides students the opportunity to develop the potential impact of a work through experimenting with form, composition and poetics. The subject examines how aesthetics are both culturally determined and dynamic. Students explore these ideas using techniques such as remixing and experimental approaches to composition and form. The resulting works may be cross-platform and cross-media, including installation works, time based and interactive media, and sound art. Activities include research, media exercises and experiments.
