Installation and Electronic Art - SART3863

This research based elective course in studio practice engages in the investigation of the theory, aesthetics and three dimensional applications of electrical, electronic and digital components in contemporary sculpture, performance, installation and digital media. Research will be studio based and it is expected that a diversity of ideas and practices within the electronic arts will be explored. The course will build upon the students' technical knowledge of electronic and digital technologies to conceptualise, process and present completed art works. The course has a studio theory component in which all students will actively engage in the research, discussion and debate of issues related to contemporary thought in electronic arts, such as interactive sculpture, installation, IT spaces, and the interface of the visual arts with technology and science.
