 This unit exposes students to theories, histories, forms of interactions, interfaces and networks. It aims to guide students in formulating strategies that may lead to the creation of meaningful and enriching experiences. A wide range of electronic mediatheories and related histories will be employed to investigate the mediated body. The following areas will be explored and questioned: post-digital theories and concepts, philosophical connections to the body mediated through networks and biological architecture augmented by technological apparatus. A key theme of this unit is to question humans' evolving relationship with technology, namely - is the idea of humanising technology a post-human imperative?
