This seminar will introduce students to theoretical texts relevant to multiple areas in the history of art and visual culture. Readings will include classic texts in post-structural theory and more recent writings in new areas of theory and artistic practice including digital art, cyberfeminism, globalization, museums and museology, architecture in/as visual space, biotechnology and artificial life as well as issues in cognitive science and human computer interaction centering on space and embodiment. Occasionally, the seminar will focus on a single topic of convergence for these diverse areas.
