PHOT-259: Art + Tech

Art and Technology explores the dynamic intersection of artistic practice and technological innovation. This course examines how emerging technologies-such as digital media, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, 3D printing, and interactive design-reshape how artists create, present, and experience art. Through historical analysis, critical discussions, hands-on experimentation, and creative projects, students will investigate the evolving relationship between art, science, and industry. Students will engage with key concepts such as digital aesthetics and interactive media while also considering the ethical and cultural implications of technological advancements in the arts. By the end of the course, students will have developed a portfolio of work demonstrating their ability to integrate technology into their practice and critically reflect on the role of technology in contemporary art.
