Course description

This course provides the foundation for the Digital Cultures major. It introduces students to the aesthetic, expressive and social cultures arising in contemporary society. Students will examine a range of visual and interactive digital media materials, and will be introduced to key concepts in the study of contemporary digital culture, including: technology and power, the mediation of the self, the manipulation of the visual, and the cultural dynamics of digital interaction. This course will critically interrogate the role of digital media in the conduct of our everyday lives, while allowing students to develop both analytical and digital media skills.
