Digital technology continues to insinuate itself into our lives at an ever-increasing pace. This course will take a critical look at the ways in which digital technology changes how we create, communicate and build culture. Digital Culture is a senior seminar which will explore advanced theoretical issues surrounding the growth of digital technologies as they pertain to creativity. We will delve deeper into the critical issues raised as our creative output--from writing to image-making to music--moves into the realm of the circuit. Digital media has provided the opportunity, as no other technology has before, for working across disciplines. As creative endeavor moves from physically-based media into the digital realm, it becomes easier to combine, and to collaborate over distance through digital networks. What are the precedents? What are the implications?
