This writing-specific seminar explores collaboration and interactivity in contemporary art and visual cultures. Emphasis is on artworks where interaction and collaboration produce controversial and challenging results. Examines the convergence of media forms and artist collaborations, and the intersection of competing theoretical ideas and ideologies. The intention is to understand how artists and visual producers respond to an increasingly shifting society where rapid cultural change, advances in technology, and the effects of globalization reconfigure how we perceive the world. Prerequisite(s): Satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements. Enrollment restricted to senior art majors. Enrollment limited to 20. (General Education Code(s): W.)
