Art/Gender/Technology

This production course explores and actively engages digital media and art practices that investigate questions of technology, gender, sexuality, and the body. Key topics include: cyberfeminism, gaming and virtual worlds, the social and the deep web, health apps and the datafication of the body, gendered social media bots, and affective digital labor. Technical workshops (on video/editing/coding/live-video-performance), guest speakers, and in-depth analysis of relevant case studies will provide students with the necessary skills and theoretical understanding to develop their own artworks during the course. This class is a Distributed Open Collaborative Course networked with FemTechNet.
