This sounds vague, but your projects won\u2019t be! You\u2019ll be provided with a step-by-step methodology for making research-driven creative and critical projects (in this class, critical means being: discerning, curious, eager to reimagine, re-examine, course-correct) with a focus on experience design. For the first part of the semester, you\u2019ll make a low-tech guide to a somewhat wacky random topic you\u2019ve been assigned to (imagine: a board game about social dynamics in ant colonies; an exercise video about the water cycle; a farmer\u2019s almanac for bitcoin miners). For the second part you\u2019ll choose a topic you are passionate about and make an interactive experience that engages deeply with that topic. Skills touched upon: research methods, ideation, critique, experience design, intro-level Unity3d. Class time will consist of: creative exercises; discussion of readings, methodologies, and artworks; student presentations; critique sessions; guest artists and researchers; and a handful of demos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an interactive media art class for people who want to develop creative experiences that are about something specific with a specific point of view!
