About this course
An inquiry into reality and human culture as a co-construct between technology and art. Through the study of film, video games, and other cultural products, the course traces how social media and artificial intelligence challenge our understanding of what it means to be human and how social engagement in the digital age is altered by the acceleration of time and the collapse of space.
