This course provides an introduction to critical studies of digital
media. Students will learn how to analyze the philosophical,
political, and cultural forces and foundations that constitute,
contextualize and are catalyzed by the technologies and techniques of
digital media. We will read a number of historically significant texts
from the last sixty years that helped define digital media. Lectures,
sections, and demos will complement the readings by introducing
students to a number of methodologies useful for the study and
presentation of digital media. Throughout the term students will work
on projects to explore, analyze and participate in some part of the
Internet. By the end of the quarter students will be both critical
observers of and participants in digital media.
