CYBER CULTURE

Course Description

This course examines the development of a culture of machines, from the industrial revolution forward, by analyzing a selection from the cannon of non-fiction and fictional texts, and exploring the ways that these visions converge with and diverge from present reality. The objective of the course is to introduce the students the cyber culture surrounding them and give them awareness in their approach to their designs. In this course, by means of cinema, literature and architecture, the formation of cyber culture in time and its futuristic projections will be analyzed. Topics include various films, images and readings based on cyber themes such as cyber space, cyber punk and cyber art.
