Look at this course description for the Spring for 2009 taught by Jennifer Johung:

ARTHIST 499: The History and Theory of New Media Art
TR 11-12:15
This course introduces students to the history and critical theory of new media artworks, focusing on artists who utilize interactive technologies. The course will outline the history of telecommunications and basic networking technologies as well as the forms and concepts of interaction and participation related to them. We will examine the aesthetic and technological possibilities for artists working within networked environments, exploring a range of projects such as Internet art and immersive installations, hyper-linked environments, telepresence and telerobotics, artificial life and intelligence, mapping and locative media projects using mobile devices such as PDAs, cell-phones, and GPS systems, social networking sites, net activism, and bio and nanotechnology.
