Learning outcomes
This course focuses on current movements in the contemporary art with an emphasis on strengthening its intermedia aspects and also on the changes in artistic discourse under the influence of social movements from the culminating globalism to strategies of environmentalism and sustainable development. The content framework of this course moves in the extended socio-cultural field of interest in contemporary art, noting the currents arising from the issues of accelerationism, speculative realism and object-oriented ontology referring to the theory of the anthropocene crisis. At the same time, this course focuses on a critical reflection on those artistic expressions that arise within the ever-dynamically evolving environment of mediality. These artistic expressions accentuate in everyday life the already natural blurring of the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds and introduce new possibilities in the use of intelligent technologies and social networks in the context of network culture and amorphous postinternet environment. Within this course, students focus on independent creative research and artistic work using selected principles of current artistic development with emphasis on the use of new expressive technologies and strategies of visual communication. The output of this study subject is an independent complex student project combining a theoretical concept and a developed project of artistic realization using physical or virtual forms.
