(crosslisted) AMST 4470, LSP 4470
(LA-AS)

Spring. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

I. Chaar-Lopez.

What shapes do data and bodies take in digital environments? Conversely, how have computing cultures and networks been shaped by data and bodies? What kinds of politics can be performed in such conditions? This course tackles these questions by centering the artistic practices of Latinxs and their contributions to the history of performance, multimedia art and tactical media.
