Learning outcomes

The course focuses on the relationship between art and contemporary visual culture. He perceives art as a reaction to a number of thought processes from the field of social sciences and humanities, especially philosophy and media studies. Emphasis is mainly placed on the period of the last three decades, when there were significant changes in thinking under the influence of digital technologies. An important perspective is the perception of visuality in relation to image representation as a result of social and geopolitical changes. Individual currents of thought are demonstrated on specific case studies from the field of contemporary art and design.
