The following Web sites were created by teams
of students for English
165CI, "The Culture of Information,"
in Fall 1999. The assignment was for each team
to create a site on an "Artist of Information":
| Each team will create a case study on
some writer, artist, musician, philosopher,
director, theorist, architect, designer, engineer,
or other figure (or group or movement)—whether
past or present—whose art exists in
implicit or explicit relation with the information
media and technology of the time. The idea
is to create a view of artists or intellectuals
in their information environment (which artists
variously collaborate with, contest, influence,
are influenced by, etc.). This assignment
will require research into the life and work
of the chosen artist(s); and it will also
require research into the information environment
of the artist's time. |
