Lecturing course “The Media City”, Utrecht University
Just back from ISEA, I will start teaching a course that I have been developing as part time lecturer New Media Studies, Utrecht University. It is a totally new program for an existing bachelor II course, called “new media in the current debate” (the course is in Dutch). I have chosen to take ‘the media city’ as an umbrella theme. A fine group of guest lecturers will be giving talks. This is how the course looks in a nutshell:
week1, Sept 22 – Introduction (Michiel de Lange)
week2, Sept 29 – ‘Hybrid space’: the relation between digital and physical space (Eric Kluitenberg)
week3, Oct 6 – New media and urban publicness (Martijn de Waal)
week4, Oct 13 – Privacy & surveillance in the media city (Sander Flight)
week5, Oct 20 – Media art and the urban experience (Annet Dekker)
week6, Oct 27 – Urban play & gamification (Kars Alfrink)
week7, Nov 3 – eParticipation and co-design: designing cities with new media (Carl Lens)
