Course contents

The course begins with the requirements for media ecology, according to which we are all constant viewers and performers. In the current form of media communications, devices and considerations about them, will be demonstrated that the traditional relationship of reality of something which can be recognized and represented at unmaintainable and the task and opportunity for man in the 21st century is art in the widest sense of the word. The intro will present and discuss traditional forms of thought about media - its societal role, perception and influence. In connection to this the course focuses on a critcal understanding of the computer as a paradigmatic tool whose effect is growing into an entire culture and which is changing from a multifaceted stimulus to a over-valued fundamental form of life and thought.
