Course Description:
This course provides a thorough introduction to formal, conceptual and technical issues related to the production of Internet-based interactive art. Emphasis is placed on experimental approaches to Web-based interactive navigation, interface and information design. The class offers a foundation to web design through research, readings, and discussions on various topics including historic perspectives and new media art. The course provides an introduction to the diverse scope and potential of screen-based media. Emphasis is placed on the production and critique of projects that explore website design, interactive navigation, and net art. The primary goal of this course is to provide students with an industry based, real world practice. Basic scripting concepts, tools and techniques, visual concepts, and integration of various media are introduced to provide students with the necessary skills to begin exploring their own creative approaches to Art on the Internet.
