=== Description ===
This class is an advanced study and portfolio project course centered on the use of hardware and software to create interactive and time-based art. These projects can take many forms—interactive installations, dynamic visualizations/sonifications, printed renderings—chosen by the students. This will not be a course of technical instruction—rather we will consider technical and conceptual issues in tandem, supplementing discussions and activities with specific technical instruction where necessary. There is a strong emphasis on the development and articulation of personal directions of research by the students in the course.
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 the transforming nature of self my particular interests. Living in contemporary society—in our a rapidly changing technological landscape, how are we redefining ourselvesand social relations? We will consider works and techniques that engage sites of social performance, embodiment, and cognition. In the latter half of the class you all will do the presentations. Working individually or in small groups, you will provide us with some conceptual provocation (reading material)covering subjects you intend to cover with your final, and 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.
