Office Hours: Wednesday 3-4pm, Atkinson Hall Rm 1601 (CRCA research neighborhood). Please e-mail me if you plan to attend.

== Course Info Grading ==Time: Thursdays 3:*Midterm Project - 30%*Final Project - 40%*Presentations - 10%*Readings/Assignments/Homework - 10%*Participation -6:20pm, VAF 22810%

Time === Presentations ===(1) Short presentation on your work in the second week of class. This should be a statement of your interests, direction, goals with media art. Present examples from your own work which you feel strongly about, and Process Based Digital Mediawhich best represent your interests and trajectory. Present examples of other artist's work that serve as models for the kind of work you would like to make. (5-10 minutes each)

Vis 145B - Students will implement time and process based (2) Medium presentation on final projects under in the direction second semester of facultythe course (weeks 7-9). Projects such as software This is the portion of the class where you dictate the reading and hardware interfacingthe discussion. If you are presenting on a given week, computer mediated performanceyou need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, software art, installation, interactive environments, data visualization and sonification will be produced as advanced study and porfolio projectjust after the midterm. (4 units10-15 minutes)

== Grading Policy = Reading Responses ===Participation These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? - 20%Midterm Project - 20%Final Project - 30%Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.

Attendance is mandatory=== Projects ===Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. You Make the effort to get one absence (for sickness/other vital concern if documented)started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-each class missed considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after that completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will drop all be posted to the wiki.=== Documentation Policy ===*section on your final grade one letterproject*source code*image/video documentation. 5 images or 5 videos.*descriptive writing (on intent, motivation, context)

Projects are graded on concept, effort, and realization=== Attendance ===Attendance is mandatory. Each unexcused absence will drop your final grade one letter. Formal proposals There are a necessary component only 10 weeks of the process so take class, please come to them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered piecesall.

=== Week 2 5 - Midterm Workshop ===*Due: 1 Midterm project proposal.**Working individually or in small groups (2-3 people), produce an interactive piece that bridges the gap between screen space and physical space. There are many ways to do this--using image-based computer vision techniques, game controllers, audio input, or other physical hardware (Arduino?). Think about the parameters of interaction--are you documenting viewer's behavior (unknown to them), are you taking a familiar form (such as a video game) and tweaking it in some way, are you intervening in social space? Think about what form the output will take. In your one page proposal, describe the input(s), output(s), and dynamic of interaction, as well as some statement of your motivation. Why is this a valuable or interesting project? In addition to the written description, produce supporting visual materials. These should be two functional diagram images and two visual/aesthetic images. The functional diagrams should show the necessary software and hardware components and explain how the interaction will occur. The aesthetic diagrams will give us a sense of what it will look like, how the output will appear. Make a page for your project (including a title) in the Midterm Projects section at the bottom of this page, upload the necessary materials and embed them in that page . This proposal is due in class next week where we will critique and workshop the ideas.*In class:**Workshop midterm project ideas. (45 minutes)**Work on Jeremijenkomidterm projects. *NOTE: Best of ICAM from Candy Harris. There will be an install in the annex here at Mandeville and presentations at the Experimental Theater in the CPMC (music building). They should come see what they are going to have to live up to for their final projects. Plus the keynote speakers (ICAM alumns) always have great info about career paths after graduation.
