to be advised| Subject Overview: | This subject focuses on the contemporary points of intersection between information technology and the creative arts. Students are introduced to historical and contemporary developments in this area, both in Australia and internationally, through a series of lectures and seminars. In the workshop component of the course, students create a major creative work that substantially develops their existing skills in this area. This work may take the form of an interactive work (web site, CD-ROM, installation, and so on), a time-based work or, with the approval of the co-ordinator, alternative options, such as the prototype for a much more ambitious work that is suitable for postgraduate study. Students are also required to present written and oral communication to a professional standard regarding their work, both before and after its completion. |
