'''DXARTS 470: Sensing and Control Systems for Digital Art, Autumn 2013'''
Sensing and Control is an introductory studio course focused on the development of innovative processes and techniques for real‐time I/O, communication, and control within the context of contemporary experimental art practice. The course covers real‐time systems programming and basic digital / analog electronics, and looks to locate these techniques within a wider aesthetic framework and historical tradition. In building a critical language with which to analyse analyze relationships between real and virtual, static and mobile, local and remote, online and offline, students are encouraged to implement new tools, new systems and new presentational scenarios for performance, art installations, and other digital arts applications.
An intensive ten‐week course, we will cover basic techniques early‐on and reinforce them through extensive hands‐on work, availing ourselves of pre‐packaged hardware, software, and rapid‐prototyping tools.

=Assignments and Grading=
 
The overall class grade will be broken down between weekly prompts and a final project:
Grading of all assignments will be based upon the quality of concept, experimentation, work ethic and realization.
You will do small The weekly projects periodically throughout the quarter. These are structured as creative prompts will incorporate , incorporating material learned during the week. We will have abbreviated discussions of these works in class. Together, the prompt responses will account for 50% of your grade.
You will have The two main projects, the Mid‐Term and Final. Together they will account for the other 50% of your grade. To receive credit for the projects project, you will need to turn in visual documentation (minimum of three photos/videos) as appropriate, schematic diagrams, and source code for arduino, processing, and any other technologies you are using. These will be turned in to Drop Box in catalyst web‐tools.
*Mid‐Term Project: An artwork where invisible parts share equal importance with visible parts.
*Complete three weekend projects: late work will not be accepted.
*Complete a final project and presentation: late work will not be accepted. Creative experimentation is required and expected: attempt the impossible; use your imagination to stretch the boundaries of any and all assignments.
