This course for fresh students is an introduction to the general knowledge of digital media with expanding theoretical discourses. Overall scanning of digital media from the early stage to our contemporary will be introduced. Then, New media and new technologies are covered interdisciplinarily considering various topics: hypertext, www, social network, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction and computer games. Furthermore, machine-aid, human, public & private, authorship & ownership and open sources will be discussed broadly. Students will practice and reconsider their ideas and thoughts on digital media and leading edged technologies reflecting cultural matters and current issues. Every week students have to follow up given readings, and have to post their own comments and summaries to each own blog that we can share our understanding and knowledge altogether. Two examination-ceremonies will be held to vitalize our understandings, and occasional projects will be followed by some significant readings or discussions. Also, the class will be held in several exhibitions to embody the current technological environment. We are not simple sponges that absorb and throw out something as it is, but filtering, digesting and deconstructing entities that consider, build, create and explore our own ideas, works, media and so called knowledges. Let's rock the digital media enjoying yourr dazzling youth!
*Thanks for Warren Sack, this class material could be made more effectively. Many schedules and material-information are taken by his lecture system.
