# DESCRIPTION:

Radical Software, published from 1970-1974, facilitated an exchange of ideas, media, and tools for video-makers engaged in the early phases of video art. Currently, through distribution and use of noncommercial art-oriented software, artists build communities online that address software culture. Radical Software/Critical Artware examines New Media practices of producing artware or software art in, on, and through networks and communities. Students will learn to program, develop and discuss artware, including tools for generating or manipulating audio-visual data, plug-ins, surface hacks, instruction sets and code as found material. Through screenings, readings, and the production of artware, this course critically analyzes the power of technoseduction while actively engaging in New Media arts practices. Prerequisite: FVNM 2100
