This course is a hands-on, project-based studio that explores special topics in art and technology, asking what “electronic” can be as an artistic medium. Students will experiment with digital and electronic tools as systems and ways of organizing images, stories, bodies, sounds, and spaces. Workshops will introduce concepts such as interactive web narratives, creative coding, image archive systems, interactive systems, sound, sensors, machine learning, augmented reality (AR), and 3D or spatial media. Through short assignments and larger projects, students will combine these skills to develop work rooted in their own questions and interests. The goal is the ability to think fluidly across tools and make strong artistic decisions with electronic media. The course will culminate in one comprehensive yearlong installation that brings together technical experimentation, artistic research, and expanded studio practice.
