Presentation
Interdisciplinary Digital Art Educational Talk
DescriptionThis presentation highlights projects implemented in my Interdisciplinary Digital Art course at the University of Toronto Scarborough. These projects encourage students to explore new technologies critically and creatively; they introduce them to practical skills and spark important reflections on the cultural, ethical, and social implications of ubiquitous digital systems. Among the technologies addressed: networking, data mining, surveillance, information aesthetics, social media culture, and locative media.
My approach to teaching encourages students to become active self-media creators and participants in global digital culture. Blending creative experimentation with technological aptitude, my pedagogical framework aims to provide students with the tools they need to engage critically with evolving media environments while developing interdisciplinary approaches to artmaking. To support this, I design innovative curricula that incorporate graphic and experimental art strategies informed by emerging technologies. By framing assignments around current innovations, students connect theoretical concepts to experiential learning. The rapid pace of change in digital media motivates me to continuously re-evaluate both the learning experiences I create for students and my own art practice.
