Intro | 项目介绍

This course examines the impact of new technologies on the aesthetics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Issues explored in the course include the structure of synthetic pictorial spaces, creating art in a global scale,  responding to images of pure light, the aesthetics of motion, behavior in virtual environments and  the experience of interactive artworks. In some cases the emphasis is on a particular new medium and the multiple artistic approaches to it; in other cases, the emphasis is on particular artists and their experimental work.  Main lecture topics include: Moholy-Nagy's work, early radio and the impact of auditory images, kinetic art, robotic art, telecommunication art, computer art, digital photography, virtual reality, telepresence and holographic art. By focusing on the theoretical and historical implications of the aforementioned media and movements, and on the work of several artists, the course places this major trend in modern and contemporary art within its larger context. Through a combination of lectures and discussions, and presentation of films, photos, videos and audio works, we investigate critically the relationship between new technologies and the visual arts.
