Hello People!
Just wanted to let you all know about a new special topic Masters
paper on contemporary internet art being offered at the University of
Auckland's Art History Department over Semester 1 & 2, 2008.
Cheers,
Leon
ARTHIST 25 AB& (30 points)
Special Topic: Contemporary Internet Art

Can You See Me Now? by Blast Theory & the Mixed Reality Lab (2001,
2004, 2005)
This paper considers diverse virtual and mixed reality arts practices
and theories that are of special relevance to emerging generations
since the social internet. Whilst many theories and analyses of older
media and technological forms (and the cultural processes associated
with them) abound, this course focuses predominantly on internet art
in relation to recent and current techno-social developments (e.g.
the socialization of the web, participatory platforms such as Rhizome
and MySpace, improvements in artistic / creative software).
The paper covers theories relevant to a diverse range of internet art
projects and festivals. It involves extensive exploration of internet
art websites and provides opportunities for creative work involving
internet art curation and criticism.
