Art and Technology is a broad movement that can be traced back to the scientific drawings of DaVinci. During the 20th century artists have continuously used new media to explore their ideas. Their innovative concepts and methods have significant implications for the future of art and science. Much of the cutting edge work is available in some version on the world wide web. This course is designed to use the W.W.W. as a site for research, analysis, and creative projects relating to art and technology. Using online resources, students will research issues in the use of digital media for art-making. Students will gain considerable knowledge and techniques important to all contemporary art students about intersections of art and science. Prerequisite: Knowledge and skills with the Internet.

Films speak directly to the subconscious, allowing us to identify deeply with their characters. Because of this, film becomes a very powerful force in the development of individuals as gendered subjects, binding us to traditional gender models. This course looks at films from various cultures, from China and India to Latin America and the United States. We use readings, film clips and class discussions to analyze the way many films reinforce learned definitions of masculinity and femininity and how others contest media representation and gender stereotyping, challenging accepted film norms in both forms and content. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Screening, Seminar, Studio Contemporary Arts College Contemporary Arts Department Course Attributes: CA-School Core-300 Level

Media Sports and Society is a course designed for students interested in researching and examining sports and media as an extension of popular culture in society. Classroom discussions do not presume in depth experiences in sports or a detailed knowledge of sports jargon and statistics. The goal is to push students to think more critically about sports and how sports are related to their social lives. We will use concepts, theories, history and research as tools that will enable you to "dig into" sports and see them as more than activities that simply reflect the world we live in. The course will also trace and examine electronic media history and the transformations of sport and leisure from Roman and Greek ritualistic ceremonies to high-tech sports-entertainment spectacles. Combining media-sports history, with revealing mass-media research, the course will also examine the enormous impact media and sports has on issues of gender, race, sociology, politics and psychology of human behavior associated with sports. Equally important, the course will carefully examine multi-disciplinary issues and major events connected with the emergence of sports as a global-commercial enterprise. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Online Course, Seminar, Studio Contemporary Arts College Contemporary Arts Department Course Attributes: MN-AFR AMR STD-Hum & Culture, CA-School Core-300 Level

What kind of information do we get from print and electronic media about the world and our own society Do they tell us what we need to know to make informed decisions about world and domestic issues This course explores the ways in which the ownership and structure of media in the U.S. and internationally contribute to the coverage of domestic and global issues. Particular attention will be given to the relationship of the growing diversity (racially, ethnically, and by gender), and stratification (rich and poor) in U.S. society to the global crisis of poverty, the environment, racism, and social disintegration.

One of the most relevant developments in American culture of the last two decades is the emergence of independent cinema as a viable alternative to Hollywood. Cinema is one of the dominant art forms of the 20th Century but its influences in our society can't be fully understood until we consider the complex, dissonant and diverse voices coming from the independent film movement. This course examines the socio-economic, political and artistic forces that led to the rise of American independent cinema and the artistic and political impact of independent movies in depicting the cinema of the "other America." This course on critical issues in American independent cinema will analyze contemporary independent movies as a form of counter-cultural expression and multi-diverse production with the goal of proficiency in understanding and analyzing the manner in which visual language, genre forms, narrative structures, and modes of production generate meaning(s) to diverse contemporary audiences.

Hollywood films have often represented the Latin American population as a monolithic block, ignoring national, class, race, and gender differences. If we relied on Hollywood for our perception of Latinos, we would think the majority were bandits, seductive men and sensual women. This course analyzes the evolving patterns of Hollywood's representation of Latino reality, from the early portrayals of "greasers" in silent films, to the seductive images created during Hollywood's Good Neighbor Policy, to the ambiguity of contemporary films. It also explores efforts by Latin American and U.S. Latino filmmakers to develop alternative portrayals of their experiences. We screen samples of both mainstream and alternative films and we read and discuss critical essays and selected articles. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture, Screening, Seminar Contemporary Arts College Contemporary Arts Department Course Attributes: MJ-AMER-Amer Artistic Express, MJ-AMER-Advanced Cat Elective, CA-School Core-300 Level, GE-INTERCULT NORTH AMERICA

Digital technology continues to insinuate itself into our lives at an ever-increasing pace.
