| Schedule: | Tu/Th 10:00am – 1:30pm (05/20 – 07/01) – 6W1 |
| Albert Info: | IMNY-UT 260 – 001 |
| Description: | The web is an amazing platform for asynchronous communication such as email, social media posts and audio/video sharing. Over the last decade with faster connections, powerful computers, always on and connected mobile devices, synchronous or live communications have become more viable. Streaming media, audio and video conferencing and realtime chat give us the ability to create new forms of live interactive experiences for participants. In this course, we’ll focus on the types of content and interaction that can be supported through web based and live interactive technologies as well as explore new concepts around participation. Specifically, we’ll look at new and emerging platforms on the web such as HTML5, WebSockets and WebRTC using p5.js, JavaScript and Node.js. |

| Course: | User Experience Design |
| Instructor: | Rebecca Blum <rb5652@nyu.edu> |
| Units: | 4.0 |
| Schedule: | Mo/We 10:00am – 1:30pm (05/19 – 06/30) – 6W1 |
| Albert Info: | IMNY-UT 262 – 001 |
| Description: | This course aims to provide students with the critical thinking and practical skills for creating effective and compelling interfaces. We will dissect what a compelling user experience is and discuss and apply design methods for creating one. Throughout this course we will examine a wide range of examples of interfaces with a focus on understanding the attributes of a successful interface and applying proven research, mapping and testing techniques. The class format will include lectures, case studies, student presentations, discussions of readings and in-class design exercises. The format is very hands-on with assignments that focus on problems that are typical of those a UX designer will encounter in the professional world. |

| Course: | Topics in Media Art – Sec. 002: Making Data Tangible |
| Instructor: | John Kuiphoff <jk2656@nyu.edu> |
| Units: | 4.0 |
| Schedule: | Tu/Th 10:00am – 1:30pm (07/03 – 08/12) – 6W2 |
| Albert Info: | IMNY-UT 260 – 002 |
| Description: | This hands-on course will explore ways to tell compelling stories using data and emerging media/fabrication tools. Students will learn to collect data, find interesting patterns, design digital models, and construct physical artifacts using laser cutters and 3D printers. We will visualize everything from subway busker tactics to real-time influencer trends. In fact, we will literally hold the output of that data in our hands. In addition to learning fabrication tools, students will be encouraged to apply their unique interests and skill sets to their data visualization projects (music, video, performance, creative coding, etc.) |

| Albert Info: | IMNY-UT 282 – 001 |
| Description: | This class explores the practice of virtual world building in art, games, and performance. Topics covered include procedural world-building and generative AI in game engines. Lessons will be structured around the Unity game engine though students are welcome to complete assignments using other tools. Students will gain a strong grounding in contemporary approaches to art-game and interactive experience design. The class will culminate in a student showcase of experimental and interactive 3D works. Coursework will take the form of creative, and technical exercises, with some critical responses to readings, games and other media. Guiding our practice will be an attunement to our own creative voice, and the ways in which it can take shape in virtual worlds. Some experience and basic familiarity with programming is recommended. |
