ART20K: Intro to Digital Art & New Media
A ten-week course taught by Professor Jennifer Parker for Art Majors at UC Santa Cruz as part of remote learning during the pandemic.
Inspired by Anna Tsings Feral Atlas project and her argument “that invasion develops as a relationship between an organism and an infrastructure,” this class focused on two main questions: 1) How can digital art embrace radical modes of eco-social experimentation as biodesign to reveal the interconnected relationships of ecologies and humans? 2) Can virtual Human-Plant relationships inform our future with multi-species communities as a tool to support empathy and expand public awareness of more-than-human life on the planet.
More information about student projects can be viewed on the individual Plant Being links (squares) below and/or view the online catalog here.
