art160: history, theory, and practice of digital media

this course was my introduction to digital media. the course consisted of both classtime and (computer) lab time. the classroom time was devoted to discussion of the readings and weekly online projects. the course covered basic personal net.art creation tools (photoshop, dreamweaver, flash, quicktime, etc.) and a collaborative ‘telematic manifesto’ project with professor packer that he later continued and exhibited through zkm.
