This intermediate digital arts course explores how open-source movements and contemporary art have cleared the way for play as a powerful metaphor for cultural participation. We will explore interactive tools, technologies which reframe our senses, and professional practices in environmental installation. We will consider the role of historical and social knowledge in the creation of interactive experiences and audio-visual environments, looking at work which tends to be discursive, which argues for a story or sets out a case, or which operates as a metaphor for our own digital realities.
Prereq: ARTST-120, ARTST-131, or ARTST-142.
Open only to majors from Art Studio, Architecture, FMT, Music, and Dance for the first week of pre-registration. Will open to others on Monday of second week. Students enrolled in this course will be responsible for some of the cost of course materials.
