We build computers around an illusory image of ourselves. In particular the illusion that our consciousness is the full extent of our experience limits how we might use computers to augment the fuller expression of our lives. This class looks at how you can use computational media to connect with the rest of your existence. The class begins by examining some of the illusions that we operate under and how revisiting those can be helpful. Then you will use sensors to give voice the less represented parts of your body. This class will also serve as a gentle rejoinder to Physical Computing and ICM. Exercises will use bio sensors, cameras, logging, mobile tech, data analysis and visualization.
