The thematic block of New technologies in designer creation acquaints postgraduate students with current events in the borderland design, visual communication, computer simulation, and modeling and interactive technologies. It shows and maps the way how virtual reality, bio-, and nano-technologies are composed into the systems co-creating the architecture of modern visual information. Completing this course enables the students to analyze and evaluate the socio-cultural framework of contemporary designer activities, as well as to predict their further direction, and to participate in development of this dynamically evolving creative sphere.
