Submit Ideas | View Ideas

GOAL: This dialogue group will research, analyze and discuss trends, visions, questions and work in contemporary technologies in the arts and their implications for teaching and learning in the arts. We will address the issues of aesthetics, work processes, exhibition and performance and the impact on the audience and culture. We will view and experience a wide range of web and disk-based works by professional and student artists across the arts disciplines. We will make recommendations on ways to address, utilize and integrate these findings about new media technologies in arts education. In addition, this community will participate in a two-way interactive videoconference with staff at the Philadelphia Museum of the Arts.

PRODUCT: Community Web Page that points to new media works, offers an analysis and recommendations, and enables further discovery and dialogue about these issues.
