This place-holder course aims to provide the flexibility to take advantage of unplanned opportunities and resources in media art available to us. Students are given the opportunity to have their learning experience enriched by artists-in-residence or scholars of temporary residence in Hong Kong. SCM faculties may also, from time to time, offer topical seminars on media arts on an issue that is not covered by currently listed SCM courses. Topics which is sought-after include forms of technical literacy, and critical discourse arising from new technologies.

Enrolment for Topics in Media Art IV depends on permission of the Course Leader, which will only be granted if the topic is essentially different from that covered in SM5316 Topics in Media Art I, SM6311 Topics in Media Art II and SM6327 Topics in Media Art III.
