A practical course on how artists use emerging technologies to create, critique, and share contemporary work.

Through a clear mix of theory, examples, and hands-on approaches, this Art and Technology course shows how tools shape artistic ideas, workflows, and audience experiences. You will begin with the foundations of contemporary creative practice and trace how artistic tools and media have developed over time, giving you the context needed to understand where digital art fits today.

As you move forward, you will explore how technology influences process and production, from digital image-making to multimedia experimentation with motion, sound, and time-based media. The course also introduces interactive art, sensing and response systems, generative art, and creative coding, helping you see how artists turn rules, data, and computation into meaningful visual and experiential work.

You will also examine AI in contemporary art practice, including important questions about authorship, ethics, bias, and ownership. These lessons support a more informed approach to Art & Design, so you can work creatively while thinking critically about the technologies you use and the cultural impact of your choices.

In the later sections, you will learn how to design immersive and installative experiences, share work on the internet, prototype ideas, and refine them through feedback. By the end of the course, you will have a clearer personal workflow, stronger communication skills for critique and presentation, and a final project proposal that reflects your own artistic direction. After taking this course, you will be better prepared to create contemporary work with confidence, purpose, and a deeper understanding of how digital tools can support your creative voice.
