Description

A course in discussing and developing artistic ideas and projects in relation to Hacktivism and exploring Rebellion as a framework for art. This class will discuss optimistic futuring, imagining creative solutions for the world's problems using art, data, imagination, and creative brainstorming in acts of rebellion as art or action and how to theoretically bring these ideas to life.
We'll examine nascent movements, ideas and cultures and their aesthetics and functionality in art to image a post-capitalist world and reconnection to nature and a recontextualization of technology.
This class will have students create ideas and works embodying these values and thematics, both as individuals and as groups.
