From the supplier: The Art Department at San Francisco State University has a Conceptual Design/Information Arts concentration for students exploring new forms of expression and non-traditional media inspired by science and technology. The Art and Telecommunications course focuses on creative aspects of both electronic and non-electronic communications. Course goals include mastering basic telecommunications functions, such as switching, coding, and networks, and use of UNIX-based electronic mail, the Internet, and 900-number systems. Those enrolled must complete a number of projects, among them interning for a telecommunications organization, on-line searching, and setting up modem and fax equipment. Students also present creative work derived from communication systems, hypermedia, networks, and such communications issues as redundancy, noise, and speed.
