<headline>Art After New Media 
This course is team-taught by former Walker Art Center new media curator Steve Dietz and Justin Bakse, artist-in-residence at MCAD. The class mixes theory and studio elements. Macromedia Flash will be covered in class, and no media experience is required. Topics covered include psycho-cartography, participatory works, interface navigation, and new narratives. Students will be introduced to a particular theme through readings and discussion of artists' work, and then complete a project related to the concept. ..

6 credits. Open to freshman.
