#  S121: But is it Art? -- Technology, Ecology, and Art 

 





 Semester:   Fall 

 

 

 

Explore the intersection of technology, ecology and art to investigate the evolving nature and purposes of art. Is AI art really art? Is the algorithm that generated the work the artist, or is it merely a tool that a human artist uses? Virtual reality art uses computers to generate interactive environments that enable immersive experiences. Are the virtual environments art? Who/what is the artist? Does the participant qualify as a collaborating artist, since the experience is a product of the interaction between the participant and the environment? What of natural environments? Might someone frame a bit of nature in such a way that it can be experienced as art? Who or what is the artist then? Should art foster entertainment, understanding, enlightenment? How does education for the arts help us to address such questions?
