2 – Research Critique IV: Desktop Theater

You will be assigned an artwork to research for a short 250 word hyperessay about the work, the artist, and how it relates specifically to the topic of next week. Incorporate the reading (see above), as relevant, into your research post, discussing how it relates contextually to the work you are critiquing. Use next week’s Lecture Notes in the Desktop Theater page of the Syllabus to prepare your research, where you will find documentation and links about each of the works.
