Syllabus: This unit will develop the theoretical framework and discourses of technologically-based electronic arts, with special reference to dataspace and systems of interactivity and connectivity. Focus will be on interactive machine systems looking at the aesthetics of machine mediated interactivity. These systems provide both a physical meeting place and electronic networked nodes for collaboratory experiences. These technological resources are amplified by global connectivity and evolving technological systems. New roles emerging from new media construct new environments that call for radically new and revised values. Consequently, artistic, social and cultural strategies are also called into question. Specifically, the language of networks, codes and protocols, will be explored in the development and formation of these systems.
