Today is last day. This class was hard for me. It is more difficult than I thought about media.
After sungbae's presetation, Dr yoon explained the over all media aesthetic.
When I just get in this university, I knew I'll learn computer science and design. I was lacking in comprehension of media. In addtion I didn't know media art or media aesthetic. But now, I understood. This class helped me.
