Learning outcomes
The course focuses on exploring the fundamental principles and questions of artistic creation from the perspective of the use of technical and technological tools?computers, robotic processes, automated systems, etc. Questions of artificial intelligence serve as the overarching methodological framework. The aim of this course is to open up a space in which it would be possible to reflect on the changing situation of contemporary art?methods from the natural and technical sciences are entering the realm of artistic creation. From this foundation, new questions arise: how is the status of art changing in this context? Will contemporary art merely follow current technological developments, catch up with them, and transform them, or can it actively participate in them and discover their further cultural and creative significance?
1. Views artistic creation in the context of technological, scientific, and social changes. 2. Integrate knowledge from the fields of art, science, and technology within their own reflection. 3. Ability to think independently and critically about the future of art in the digital age. 4. Is familiar with the concepts and trends of contemporary technological art. 5. Develops an open and informed approach to interdisciplinary collaboration.
