| Course Objectives: |
This course aims to introduce students to a wide range of digital media: analog vs digital representations, digital image, pixel vs vector, digital color, digital sound, digital animation, media art, cyberculture, internet technology, mobile technology, and social media. NMD1001 covers the basic characteristics and concepts of new media technologies and the differences between traditional and new media. In addition, we explore online ethical issues within a global context, from Internet censorship to fair use and fan-art. |
| Digital media are ubiquitous. They are the tools with which we communicate, the sources from which we derive information, the instruments that uphold so much of our culture. By observing the history, technology, economy, politics, and metaphysics of digital media, this course attempts to provide a theoretical framework from within which to address the subject critically, drawing from inspiration on a wide variety of sources, from the ancient Greeks to the modern geeks. This course provides students with the understanding and direction needed to navigate the ever-changing “new media” landscape. The technical issues of the Internet and new media platforms are covered regarding the critical analysis of the social, cultural, political, economic, entertainment, and ideological issues related to “new media.” We trace the competing goals of individualism and collectivism in the Internet’s history and present, exploring how groups and communities organize through social media platforms around common interests and goals. |
