Mediated Narrative

Catalog description

Futuristic Explorations and gt; Artificial Intelligence The Mediated Narrative: Futuristic Explorations course aims to explore the idea of the future, analyze its representations, and create a media project based on potential areas of human progress and evolution. Students will have to recreate and represent their own visions of the future through a media project. Essential to the research and development of the class are the concepts of humanity and empathy within socio-technical transformations in the world. Ideas such as: reality ahead of schedule; high tech, low life; neon and corporate dystopias; cyberpunk; post-humanism; sustainability; etc, will be analyzed and discussed. Concepts of civilization, the cityscape, the individual, the body and the mind will be examined as we see technology and society evolve. During the 2026 spring semester we will be focusing on the impact and development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on individuals and society. The idea is to map traditional futuristic themes and to find new ways to represent them based on the needs and contradictions of our present reality. We are offering the opportunity to travel into the future, build it, and represent it in creative and critical ways.
