HAVC 76 Oceanic Digital Arts
Focuses on critical oceanic studies as an artistic paradigm for creating digital technologies. Pacific Islander artists create digital art to preserve and revitalize cultural practices. Oceanic digital arts are a form of cultural reclamation and represent a growing artistic movement to archive knowledge for future generations in the face of climate disaster and cultural erasure. Students analyze Indigenous virtual art to understand the benefits and shortcomings of prioritizing technology for Native knowledge production/preservation within our ever-increasingly techno-mediated world.
