The models of the cyborg, the clone, and the parasite provide the
reader with an analysis of educational and digital spaces, drawing
comparisons between the centralized, hierarchical networks
typically reinforced in classrooms and those that are decentralized
and rhizomatic such as the Internet. In order to extend this
analysis, network theory is compared to the structure of an
introductory university art course that is informed by aspects of
critical pedagogy. Drawn from practical examples generated in the
classroom, popular media, and the world of contemporary art, the
social effects of developing technologies are then interpreted
through three shifts that have accompanied the mechanical
reproduction of artworks throughout the 20th century. The shifts in
notions of authorship, authenticity, and authority lead to a
discussion of similar effects that have accompanied the widespread
use of digital networks, and how these networks might work within a
critical pedagogy based approach to 21st century art education.
