note: This is a general guideline. Beyond these suggestions, I encourage you to find the best way for you to share what you learned, enjoyed, and are leaving our class with.
Introduction
In this course we have analyzed the relations between images, art, technology and society and the ways in which they pose radical questions to our understanding of the world, reality and our human condition at the turn of the 21st century.
Every week you have been asked to created a visual response to each of these topics. This final project is meant to offer a general view or final response to the topics of the class.
Goals
The goal of this project is to invite a overarching reflection on the topics and questions addressed in this course. It will represent a summary of your own views, the ideas that captured your imagination, or simply put, some of the thoughts that emerged from our encounters throughout the term
Assignment
Create a visual work that conveys your ideas and responses to the questions examined in our course.
This work is mainly a compilation of your weekly projects but will also incorporate other elements that will allow you to further elaborate on your ideas: class notes, comments, or views that have emerged from our discussions.
Questions
The key questions you should address are:
- What is an image?
- What is a digital image?
- What is art?
- The role of art in society
- The role of imagination. What are the implications/responsibility for artists?
- Technology and humanity: What is technology? What is humanity/ What makes us human? How are Technology and humanity connected?
You are not expected to provide a definitive answer to any of these. As we have seen, there are many dissenting and seemingly valid views. The intention is to comment on the many references from class and elaborate your own vision:
How will our relation to technology further develop?
Format
There is no preferred format: you can create a set of Newhive expressions, a video work, a power point presentation, or a pdf file.
Presentations and due dates
Presentations will take place in the last two weeks of classes. After your presentation you can improve your work to include the suggestions and ideas resulting from the discussion. The due date is the first Thursday after the last class

This is a sample of my project. I’m still learning to make a video.
I updated my page… AE is really not friendly for beginners at all. I tried to render it several times just for getting a video with both images and sounds and they are all takes me like 3 hours.

The title of my project is
“Created in God’s Image”
https://vimeo.com/212658414
Humanity, we can never learn to be satisfied with what we have now and we are always trying to improve. Our curiosity and imagination is what made it possible for us to always obtain new knowledge and utilizing that knowledge to create new ideas, art, and technology.
Even today, with the development of AI, we know that they could become a serious threats to humanity, however, we persist. Our curiosity and imagination drive our pursuits into the unknown.
When I was working on my project, two stories came to my mind. One is the story of Icarus. A story about a man named Icarus, who died from getting too close to the sun with his wax wing. The other one is the Tower of Babel where people attempted to build a tower that’s tall enough to reach heaven. This upset God and as result He made human speak different languages and it had brought division amongst humanity.
If we keep on developing and advancing technology, will we continue to reap the benefits? Will we see ourselves subjected to the consequences of our curiosity, similar to the fore mentioned stories?
