Media Theories and Philosophy, WS 2011/2012
This class is a theoretical course on theories and philosophy of media, focusing on two opposing concepts of Marshal McLuhan and Nicklas Luhmann. We will reflect those theories and discuss their relevance to graphic design. To test, if those concepts are useful and adaptable for designers, we will search for and discuss media reflection in contemporary moviessuch as "The Matrix", "Gamer", "Tron" or "The Source Code".
