Õppeaine sisu

A lecture and seminar course providing introduction to history of technology in arts. Main attention is on developments of last two centuries, changes in history of technological invention and artistic innovations. Main attention is given to defined artistic trends, not detached isolated cases. In discussing the origin of creative directions or art movements, both intentionality and spontaneity can be seen in their evolution. Movements of artistic practice originate through the unification of the desires, interests and practices of artists. These movements are formed into international trends by artists themselves, theorists or artistic institutions after the fact or in real time.
In the course most recent and controversial art practices are observed, like software art, transgenic art and hybrid art.

Independent work concerns student ability to research further using available sources on- or offline.
