Description
Painting and Technology encourages you to consider technology's relationship to the evolution of painting through both historical and contemporary contexts. You will explore the influence of lens-based technologies, scopic devices that enhance vision and the proliferation of images generated through mechanical and electronic media. You will investigate the impact of technology's effect in developing alternative perceptual and material processes for contemporary painting. You will employ strategies of imaging, mediation and manipulation to experiment with new possibilities for painting in the digital age.
