Art, science and technology are incorporated as an integral body of media arts in contemporary interdisciplinary education and exhibition environments with new possibilities of dynamic interactions. This course will introduce the meaning of media arts through the study of media history and archaeology from traditional film and video art to multimedia design, net art, digital art, computer animation, computer graphics, interactive installation, robotic art, biotechnology, and so forth. Different media arts and their applications of different media technologies and interface design will be studied to explore their relationship to transforming culture and society. Students will gain broader understandings and critical awareness of different concepts and developments of media arts and mediated interaction from early experiments by futurists and constructivists to most recent practices like interactive games and virtual reality experiments with wearable and portable media. Eventually the students will be able to identify creative ideas of design solutions for different media arts and applications ranging from conceptual to virtual art, computer graphics to digital animation, and performance to interactive installation.
