Description of module content:

The module links historical and current creative practice to present issues within the field of computer-mediated creative practice. Students will be exposed to the concepts of visual language and semiotic practice and given tools and techniques with which they will be able to communicate meaning to the general public. A historical, critical understanding will be achieved through the study of the history of technology driven art.

Students will be introduced to the creative use of technology and techniques allowing the development of products, installations and screen based artefacts that engage with current developments within computer-mediated creative practice. Students studying this module will be introduced to practice based iterative prototype development.. This module will give students the skills and attitude necessary to bend technology to their will.
