Making artworks which respond to the environment and/or to user input will be the focus of our work in the course. We will combine elements of traditional artmedia, music/sound, literary and dramatic structures, and digital media into cohesive interactive artworks. A consideration of the relationship of the arts to technology will be pursued in discussions and readings. The course is for students who have taken the Computer Interfacing course, and who want to do more advanced work with what they learned there, while expanding their command of digital media. As was the case in Computer Interfacing, the emphasis will be on empowering students - in a user-friendly, non-intimidating way - to use technological media to make thoughtful artworks. An introduction to the capabilities of embedded microcontrollers will be offered; however, there is no requirement to use microcontrollers in work made in the class. |
