University of Bergen, Program in Digital Culture

Digital Culture (called Humanistic Informatics until August 2009) is the study of social, cultural, ethical and aesthetic aspects of Information and Communication Technology. Our main focus is digital arts and culture and the interaction between culture and technology. In our studies of digital culture we emphasize that theoretical, historical and analytical approaches to understanding digital culture must be accompanied by a practical understanding of the technology. Though the group has changed names three times, it is one of the oldest groups with a curriculum in humanities computing in Europe, established in 1985.
