Art 107: Introduction to Digital Forms

Explore the basic practices and conceptual concerns of digital media art: image acquisition and  manipulation, video, 3d design, and web/networked technology through coding. Beyond simply working with the tools, you will be encouraged to look at what contemporary artists, designers, scientists, and engineers are doing with them as well. Though this course will have a heavy technical bent, of primary importance is the overall quality of work/product produced and not the technical difficulty required to complete the work.
