ABOUT SAIC WIRED
This 1.5 credit hour course is intended to enhance the first year program
curriculum by providing structured, targeted tutorials that introduce
students to basic and advanced imaging and web authoring techniques
in an academic context that is both critical and celebratory of the
new media tools —both proprietary and open-source—to facilitate
art production. The tutorials are also designed to assist first
year core faculty in encouraging students to document and share their
research and studio projects online with their peers. The web
is a medium that now must be understood and managed by artists from
any field; for this reason, the curriculum is focused on imaging for
the web, and authoring (HTML) for the web. The course also
provides a survey of new online collaborative research tools.
