<p>Seminar, three hours. Computational media has revolutionized the practice of everyday life by becoming an integral part of how people work, communicate, understand themselves, and make art as well as war. The attention received by those technological developments of the later part of the 20th and early 21st centuries does not come with a consensus about the interpretive frameworks most appropriate for these materials, or about the boundaries of the field and its connections to other disciplines and practices. Study addresses these questions by engaging some of the key contributions to media studies on topics ranging from the relationship between the material and immaterial roles of technology to its effects on perception, scientific imaging, sensual experience, and sense of time. P/NP or letter grading.</p>
