2010

Design Dialogues: Computation After New Media, Media Design Program, Art Center College of Design. This lecture series explores key concepts in computational media to empower individuals to imagine, collaborate, provoke, and prototype through computing. As a result of its widespread adoption, digital media has transitioned from "new media" to a ubiquitous part of contemporary life. This shift from novelty to familiarity has considerable ramifications for academic institutions working in the fields of media arts and digital culture. Exploring the formal potentials of information and networked technologies is no longer of significant interest: information technologies need to be understood as an embedded part of culture and history. Digital cultural practices must also work to extend their parent disciplines, including the studio arts, media history and theory, design, computer science and engineering. Each speaker in the "Computation After New Media" series will focus on one word - a single term they feel is a core part of their work within the framework of computation. These lectures will be aimed at exploring the underlying structures of computationalism, providing an important leverage into the philosophy, languages, and principles of digital media. Speakers unclude Sharon Daniel (UCSC), Eddo Stern (UCLA), Paul Dourish (UCI), George Legrady (UCSB), Casey Reas (UCLA) and Celia Pearce (Georgia Tech).
