Introduction to Media Art and Culture (25343)

From 2008-09-23 to 2008-09-26

Teachers and coordinators: Heidi Tikka, visitors

Pls note: obligatory for MA students!

The objective of the lecture series is to introduce some of the central ideas that inform both media culture discourse and media art practice. Media culture is here approached as the critical context that provides for a new media practitioner a historical, social and cultural understanding of his or her practice.

The lectures will follow the structure of New Media by Martin Lister (ed.) and each lecture will focus on a particular theme or topic. The themes will be augmented with a number of examples from media art.

Each lecture is supplemented with a short reading and a number of web resources that the students are expected to explore. For those unable to follow the lectures, the option of examining Lister’s book is available.
