Sample topics include environmental art; media infrastructures; concepts of nature and the nonhuman; and climate change and visual culture.
Class Notes
From the Instructor: This class examines film, animation, video games, virtual reality, and more to consider how concepts of nature, technology, and the human have been deployed to control and divide, to imagine radical futures, and to explore what it means to be human. The course examines how the division between nature and culture is socially constructed and obscures how multispecies relationships are essential to human society and how technology shapes and is shaped by our conceptions of the nonhuman.
