Ever make a cool platform, instrument, or some super abstract reusable code and told yourself you\’d make some actual content for it…later? Ever see an awesome camera/display/musical instrument one of your classmates has made and say, wow I\’d really like to use that thing to make something else!? Using a unique tool/framework/process invented by yourself or someone else at ITP, this class will focus on making compelling content, while also examining critically the rise of \”the content creator\” and the relationship between medium and message.This is a crash course in working with the affordances (and shortcomings) of a new tool, a skill which many real-world roles for \”creative technologists\” requires. We will go against the impulse to throw the paintbrush away after making one painting, and learn and practice creative and generative techniques for iterating, developing concepts, refining and presenting work. Come to this class with 2-3 ideas for a project that you or a fellow ITP-er has created in semesters prior that you want to develop content for. In special cases, you may also propose working with a platform/tool/framework created outside of ITP. Mo 6:30pm – 9:00pm (09/10 – 10/22)
