Introduction:
A
rigorous combination of
Research, Experiments, Practice and Development:
To paraphrase Dr. Paul
Gray, President Emeritus and Chairman Emeritus of MIT:
A research university is a community of learners
— some young, some older — engaged together in creating, disseminating, and
applying knowledge, using existing knowledge, skills, and judgment. Research,
therefore, is about learning. At the same time, education can be defined as
bringing students to the point of self-sufficiency that is, learning how to
proceed when no one knows the answer. Education, therefore, is about
research.

To John
Maeda, a world renowned digital graphic designer, artist and a
computer scientist at MIT. He has pioneered the use of the computer to make
art. Maeda wants to redesign technology so that it is fun and keeps us coming
back for more. Maeda’s early work redefined the use of electronic media as a
tool for expression by combining skilled computer programming with sensitivity
to traditional artistic concerns.

911, http://radified.com/911/911_index.htm
Danish artist cartoon of the holiest
Islamic man, Mohamed, who is not to be made into an image. Similar to Jewish
tradition where God is not to be represented by a direct image. http://thedefeatists.typepad.com/apoplectic/images/mo.JPG
The Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten
created the furor over depictions of Mohammed by publishing a series of 12 drawings
after a local author said he was unable to find any artist willing to depict
Mohammed for his upcoming illustrated book. The publication of the images in Jyllands-Posten has been
condemned around the Islamic world, and has led to the burning of embassies
and a boycott of Denmark by Muslim nations.

The beautiful, the horrific, the sublime, the mundane- images are a
reflection of life on this planet earth as well as being used weapons.
Living in a Visual Culture:
Photography, Painting, Sculpture, Fashion, Advertising, TV, Cinema,
Ubiquitous Digital Culture
Within Digital Culture:
digital sketching, scanning traditional sketches, paintings, objects, etc.,
pixel art, raster imaging, digital photography, vector imaging, web, animation
(2d, 3d, combo), gaming, digital interactive installation, robotics, bioart, etc.
