The course explores the experience of wonder from a comparative and interdisciplinary lens to establish its role as an engine for intellectual inquiry in the art, science and engineering. To do this, the course scrutinizes contemporary media culture through investigations of past media technologies and creative media practices. In addition, the course proposes a further phenomenological approach by considering the role of the senses in the experience of wonder (such as through olfactory or auditory experiences of nature) and its subsequent impact on the design and aesthetic considerations of emerging technologies. The course also highlights critical moments where 'wonder' has been used as an excuse for colonialization, extraction and exploitation through key historical examples. The course combines theoretical readings and studio-based elements such as digital fabrication. Open to non-majors.
