Objectives:
The digital revolution is having a great impact on cultural processes and society. Innovation runs at a high speed and there is a constant emergence of new paradigms and futuristic ideas for new developments and applications.
In this course students will have the opportunity to place their own work in the historical perspective of these developments, so they can effectively monitor and interpret current and future trends. Analytical tools are provided from a variety of disciplines in order to be on top of such rapid evolution in the field. Working with examples from, for instance, games, edutainment, performing arts, interactive storytelling, virtual reality, social media, and art installations, and by establishing comparisons with a wide range of media and art forms, students also learn how to work with, evaluate and design narrative structures as a key element for reconciling the interplay between immersion, engagement and interactivity in different creative applications.
Furthermore, the students also acquire knowledge on how to combine elements of persuasive communication and aesthetics in order to optimize the relation between content and convergent media technology. A final important objective of the course is to explore the dimensions of sustainability and social responsibility in interactive media technology.
