ARHI 187 SC - Old New Media


What happens to new media when it’s no longer new? This seminar explores the artistic use of once-novel technologies via media archaeology, the hands-on study of technological artifacts, from old radios and clunky microcomputers to early websites and camera phones. Through collaborative case studies, we will examine historic works of media art by recreating them with retro tech, reflecting on reverse-engineering as both creative process and art historical methodology.

Prerequisite(s): Prerequisite: either one previous art history course OR experience computer programming. PERM required.
Course Credit: 1.0


Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
