What is the relationship between new media art and the art that preceded it? Has the revolutionary impact of digital media produced entirely independent spaces of art making and creativity? While observing how digital technologies produce new arenas for artistic expression and interpretation, we will examine how 20th-‐century artists working before the digital boom utilized other media, techniques and approaches to effect comparable formal, conceptual and experiential dynamics. This course will include reading, dialogue and short projects.
