Institution:

Maine College of Art

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the poetics of mediabased art. Students develop a body of work specific to their area of interest, building their physical and verbal vocabularies around the making and critiquing of new media art works. The emphasis is equally divided between the act of the making and speaking about that making. This course focuses on the expression of students' ideas through the modality of media rather than on the technical specifics of the media itself. Through discussions, critiques and studio work, importance is placed not only on the creation of professional caliber media art works but also on the documentation and (re)presentation of that work for promotional purposes. Student papers and presentations examine through the work of other contemporary and/or historical media artists. Major requirement: 6 credits/semester; 3 hours/ week. Prerequisites: NM 101 and 102.
