This special section features a series of articles addressing the present and future needs and nature of art
education in the light of developments in technology, science and
the arts. Ideas and proposals developed through interpersonal and
Internet collaboration are emphasized.
Roy Ascott gives an overview of the project in his Introduction to The Planetary Collegium: Towards the Radical Reconstruction of Art Education.
The first article in the series is entitled "Bridge To, Bridge From: The Arts,Technology and Education," by
Carol Gigliotti. In this text, the author investigates theories and practices,
sometimes very much at odds, of contemporary
educational involvements in the arts and
technology.
Issues covered in the special project include:
- Has digital post-modernism really killed off Bauhaus
idealism?
- Personal expression, artistic sensibility and the
post-biological body
- Educational cyberstate in relation to university real estate
- Architecture education: More aloof than alive?
- The criteria and assessment of quality in a relativistic
culture
- Mideologies
- Distributed authorship and distance-design collaboration
- Putting the art into artificial life
- Should studies in consciousness precede point, line and plane?
- The research student in cyberspace
- The art instructor: Facilitator, collaborator or role model?
- Is there a-life after art school?
- Science fiction as design education
- The value of transience in curriculum design
- Art as shareware
- Mosaic, modularity and the global curriculum
- Student access to Internet tutors and learning agents
