ART 101A: Introduction to Digital Media Art

 


PROJECT 1: Image as Rhetoric
Select two images, one to emphasize truth, one to emphasize beauty. From these, use Photoshop to transpose an anti-aesthetic image (one that is neither truthful or beautiful). For each, use text to explicate your conceptual strategy.


PROJECT 2: Unstable Media
Use Premier to produce a short artwork exploring the unstable perceptions of contemporary digital media: explore production as a conceptual art action.


Project 3: Internet Art
Produce a an net.art project that exposes or exploits the formal-structural nature of the Internet. Other sites and outside links can be appropriated, infiltrated or incorporated. You may directly code or use any software applications as needed to realize this project. Consider issues of non-linearity, the illusion of choice (addressing/reflecting on "Interactivity"), multiple data streams, formal elements specific to the web, internet or the graphical user interface (forms, windows, etc.), meta information, commodification of information access, searching, browsing and parasitic media objects.
