The entire course is about the relationship between aesthetics and digital media. It introduces critical, aesthetic analysis and reception of digital art and culture. The focal point is the challenges that digital media provide aesthetics, art and culture in a current and historical perspective – mostly current perspective. The historical is fundamental in order to understand the current perspective. In the evaluation of this paper, emphasis will be placed on the extent to which the writer: – demonstrates knowledge about digital media’s cultural and aesthetic theoretical problems. – demonstrates understanding of the digital field’s aesthetic history and theory. – is able to apply aesthetics theory of the digital field for analytical purposes and in relation to specific digital works. It’s up to the writer which concrete work that is to be analysed (with approval from me).
It could be a specific video game or a comparison between two or more video games or a new phenomena on the internet: in short, works where it would make sense to apply aesthetic analysis. – is able to organise quantity of material and the form of presenting, taking into account the accurary of the argumentation.
