Overview
Taking an approach grounded in the contemporary practice of 'media archaeology' as described by Errki Huhtamo, the course explores the cultural implications of digital technology -- such as computers, the Internet, and participatory media -- and examines the historical pre-conditions for digital communication. Students engage with key topics and debates in the historical study of digital media, developing the historical perspectives that will inform future practical and scholarly pursuits within digital culture.
