March 1, 2009 4:00PM SUNDAY
Tuition: $20.00
Course Code DDSUN430PM030109
What are the new palettes, materials, content and points of view to be? can they be extrapolated from contemporary science, technology, philosophy, and social milieus? What are the market pressures for innovation, rapid appreciation, titillation, techno-awe, intimidation of colossal scale and emotional gratification? How are future audiences to be persuaded, manipulated and surprised? What is the difference between refinement and invention? What happens when demand exceeds supply of authentic innovation? Will we find a hothouse for farce, fake and satire or will we be able to see for the first time things that have always been presented but never before recognised?
