Through hands-on design practice, cutting-edge fabrication techniques, and partnership with professional artists, designers and local communities, students will explore how emerging technologies can create new forms of human experience and interaction. Using rapid prototyping, fabrication, CAD and physical computing, we will create speculative prototypes that enhance, extend, and reimagine sensory perception, embodiment, and accessibility in physical and virtual space. Drawing on mentorship from professional artists, designers and industry connections, students in this class will develop a portfolio-ready project for public exhibition that promotes career readiness in fine art and design.
