‘When Cultures Collide: Technology and Representation in Digital Space’ is an ACTLab course at the University of Texas at Austin, in the Department of Radio, Television and Film.

It is a seminar of ten to twenty students [link to <people>], led by Sandy Stone, to explore, critique and produce conceptual scopes [link to <concepts>] surrounding aphorisms of culture and representation in an age of high technology. Students construct their own works with a variety of analog and digital media techniques that they learn throughout the course. (To check out their works, go to People [link to <people>].)

Some readings of relevance to this class:

      James Clifford, The Predicament of Culture: Twentieth-Century Ethnography, Literature and Art.
      Michael Taussig, Shamanism, Colonialism, and the Wild Man: A Study in Terror and Healing.
