It is an introductory course to cover different approaches to the study of interactivity. A wide range of disciplines will be included to question the common concepts and practices of interactive media, which span from cognitive science, avant garde cinema, human computer interaction, game studies, etc.

The course does not intend to be a practical and technical one. Students, however, are expected to exercise critical inquiry into various applications of interactive media and technology in everyday life. They will read extensively in different areas about interactivity, drawing reference from ‘traditional’ media. Critique of existing interactive products and artworks will be the regular teaching and learning activities.
