I have been interested from afar in this discussion. As an academic I am
interested in a number of new media topics but also how they are
deconstructed for the learning environment. In Australia many new media
artist work in academia and therefore influence new generations of artists.
An Australian study is endeavoring to find out more information by
developing a database how media art education is dealing with the evolution
of emergent technologies that find their way into art, theory and culture
curriculum. How do academic institutions deal with the rapid changes taking
place, outlined in the questions listed below. New media needs more detailed
research done in this area so we can demonstrate some of the interesting
challenges that we face moving into the area of social systems, interface
culture and science.
