== Time and Process Based Digital Media II ==
Time: Thursdays 3:30-6:20pm, VAF 228
I would like to split the reading/homework responsibility for two parts of the class. In the first half of the term I will present a series of works and readings covering my particular interests--the intersections of social performance, embodied experience, and cognition. In the latter half of the class (after the midterm) you all will do the presentations on topics of your choosing. Working individually or in small groups, you will provide us with some conceptual provocation (reading material) covering topics you intend to engage with your final, and you will lead a discussion on technical and conceptual issues. Reading and critical writing, in response to text and works you present and those I present, are integral to this course.
The schedule is a living document and will be revised over the period of the course.
== Instructor ==
*Final Project - 40%
*Presentations - 10%
*Readings /Assignments/Homework - 10%
*Participation - 10%
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. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.
=== Documentation Policy ===
*personal wiki pagesection on your project*source code on wiki*image/video documentation where appropriate. 5 images or 5 videos. *explanatory descriptive writing (on intent, motivation, context)

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 midterm 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. === Week 6 ===In class work on midterms. === Week 7 - Midterm Critiques ===In class critique of midterms. === Week 8 === Due: Written response (1 page) to one of your classmate's projects. In Class: Draft final project proposal and post to wiki by the end of class. In class discussion as needed. === Week 9 ===work on finals === Week 10 - Final Critiques ===In-class critiques of finals. === Finals Week ===Final documentation due. == Topics ==To Be Scheduled
