Cultural Heritage through New Media Art WH-KON-U2-CulHer
Cultural Heritage through New Media Art
The aim of the course is to show media art as an element of the cultural heritage of modern times. The information revolution, especially digital transformation, caused a number of social and communication changes. As a consequence of the use of a number of new tools and technologies, new forms of recording and distribution of information were created. In this process, it is extremely important to re-think the category of cultural heritage in the local, national and universal context.
Therefore, this course aims to capture mutual relations between media art as one of the languages of contemporary communication and a broadly defined cultural heritage.
The course is to help students understand: how to define media art, how to use media art as a tool for contemporary communication, especially in the context of digital transformation. Ultimately, also the status of media art and whether – and in what form – it becomes an element of cultural heritage.
