有鑒於當代藝術對於科技相關議題的關注，本課程希望從科技發展的社會影響這個角度出發，探討當代藝術如何回應科技變遷所帶來的不同影響，並搭配期末的計畫實做，讓學生具有運用科技物，以藝術方式看待社會現象的能力。

With the focus of contemporary art on science and technology-related issues, this course hopes to develop from the perspective of social impact of scientific and technological development, explore how contemporary art responds to different impacts brought about by technological changes, and combines the planning and implementation at the end of the period to give students the ability to use technological objects and view social phenomena in an artistic way.
