Systems, Codes & Spaces critically introduces the art of nonlinear Media Art and provides a historical and theoretical understanding of Digital Art forms. As Jack Burnham wrote in his 1968 essay Systems Esthetics, systems "may contain people, ideas, messages, atmospheric conditions, power sources, and so on". Close readings of systems and processes of interactive, digital and New Media Art will train students in the core aesthetic decisions, structures, strategies and demands of complex Media Art systems. This will involve screening works and analyzing these works through structural considerations of influential projects in the mediums of Video, Installation, Interactivity, New Media and Experimental 3D. Students read relevant Media Art historical and theoretical texts, discussing these texts in relation to projects shown in class. Writings drawn from Media Art Histories, such as those by Jack Burnham, Pamela Lee and Edward A. Shanken; and from nearby fields of research such as Cybernetics, will be mobilized as tools to understand nodal networks and ongoing relationships. Students should be taking Video: Crash Course and/or New Media: Crash Course simultaneously with this class.
