The expectation is that, regardless of the topic, approach and form, or outcomes of the project you take on in this semester, you will have a project and paper that support one another which will reflect a significant investment of your time and effort. This may or may not build on prior coursework.

This advanced seminar explores in depth the theoretical and practical aspects of media-communications principles and regulations. Knowledge of media law is crucial for professionals. A full range of models will be explored, from Open Source public license to Digital Rights Management, as well as working definitions of Fair Use and the practical limits of sampling/mixing in different idioms and economic sectors.
This course is an introductory programming class, appropriate for students with no prior programming experience. Traditionally, introductory programming teaches algorithmic problem-solving, where a sequence of instructions describe the steps necessary to achieve a desired result. In this course, students are trained to go beyond this sequential thinking – to think concurrently and modularly and ask questions about how computation can reflect creative potential. By semester end, students are empowered to write and read code for event-driven, object-oriented, experiences and connect them to the physical world.
In this course, students will analyze the history and theoretical discourse of media and technology, connecting these studies to contemporary trends and assessing their cultural impact. Discussion, reading, research, and writing constitute the body of the course. As we explore the theories of media and technology and the stakes of this inquiry, we will move from early work in the field to the examination of broad approaches like media archaeology and actor-network theory and specialized domains of inquiry like visual culture and sound studies.
Ideation & Prototyping
In this class, we will investigate and explore the creative process in order to generate ideas for art, tech and design projects and more. The course will show how different concepts, techniques, and methods can inspire, inform, and bring depth to what one ultimately creates and prototypes. Students will expand their arsenal of design and research skills, learn how to think critically about their audience, content, form, and processes, as well as, understand the importance of utilizing more than one research and design strategy. The course will introduce a number of tools and techniques through hands-on exercises and assignments to really drive home how iterative, messy and exciting the creative process can be!
