Description

BARC0076 is designed to impart skills in new forms of research dissemination, focusing on the development of new-media practice as a method of framing arguments and posing questions in relation to specific sites. Mediated Environments addresses the intersection of media theory, contemporary technology and architectural practice, charting the development of the contemporary mediated spatial paradigm. This module will explore the complex interplay of spatial, sonic, filmic, networked and performative practices through early manifestations of Mediated Environments, through the work of Xenakis, Charles & Ray Eames, Dan Graham, Stan Van Der Beek, Steina & Woody Vasulka, Joan Jonas, Wodiczko, etc. The module will then progress to examine the impact of the development of networked environments and the pervasive spread of personal media devices, apps and the impact of social media and new forms of publishing in the present day.
