In this context, this course will focus on a myriad of topics including digital art and culture, Web and computer arts, new technologies, artificial intelligence and generative arts, big data, AR, VR, MR and XR technologies, interactive and immersive technologies, CGI and 3D productions, games, and new visual arts.
