Summary: In Educating Artists for the Future, some of the world's most innovative thinkers of higher education in art and design offer fresh directions for educating artists for a rapidly evolving post -digital future. Their creative redefinition of art at the interdisciplinary interface where scientific enquiry and new technologies shape aesthetic and cultural values offers ground-breaking guidelines for art education in an era of emerging new media. This is the first book concerned with educating artists for the post-digital age. A culturally diverse range of art educators focus on teaching their students to create artworks that explore the complex balance between cultural pride and global awareness. They demonstrate how the dynamic interplay between digital, biological, and cultural systems calls for alternative pedagogical strategies that encourage student-centered, self-regulated, participatory, interactive and immersive learning. ·Educating Artists for the Future charts the diaphanous boundaries between art, science, technology and culture that are reshaping art education.
