Time and Process Based Digital Media
Vis 145B - Students will implement time and process based projects under the direction of faculty. Projects such as software and hardware interfacing, computer mediated performance, software art, installation, interactive environments, data visualization and sonification will be produced as advanced study and porfolio project. (4 units)
Grading Policy
Participation - 20% Midterm Project - 20% Final Project - 30%
Attendance is mandatory. You get one absence (for sickness/other vital concern if documented)--each class missed after that will drop your final grade one letter.
Projects are 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.
Readings will familiarize you with material covered in lecture.
