Experimental, Immersive, Interactive

This interdisciplinary course is an introduction to Arts and Technology/Interactive Media as the digital integration of art, technology, video, graphics, sound for design and production in art, communications, entertainment, science, engineering, architectural and industrial applications. Through the integration of historical studies, theory and practice, students will address issues central to interactivity in art-making and design.

Students will engage in projects that incorporate a variety of digital media and emerging technology strategies. This course includes an overview of simple 2D graphics and motion/animation, digital still-image processing, digital sound generation, and the production steps involved in live, immersive interactive multimedia.
