In this course, students will explore the intersection of digital technologies with dialogical artistic practice, in the context of what has been variously described as collaborative art, as new genre public art and as community-based art practice. Students will be encouraged to consider issues of plurality, diversity, responsibility and authorship in the context of the social and political possibilities of new media practice. A central goal of the course is to enable students to bridge the gap between new media theory and practice in their own work. Space will be provided for students to apply the theory and to develop an effective theoretical language to talk about their own work and the work of peers and collarborators.
