New Media Pipelines: The introduction of new media to art, architecture and design culture

Abstract

This paper aims to explore and explicate identifiable patterns of praxis associated with the introduction of new media into a) a visual art and design school program and, b) into an architectural school's postgraduate program. The benefit of observing and tracing the patterns of cultural change with the introduction of new media technology to the higher education curricula, is the recognition of changes and the need for the recording of this rarely documented history of higher education. Others may usefully find these 'pipeline' patterns in future visual arts education environs
