Description

Sculpting Data into Everyday Objects is designed, on the one hand, as pure creative experimentation with technical tools, and on the other hand, as exercise in critical thinking and conceptual strategy. The ultimate goal of this course for each student, in attempting to converge these two processes, to develop a dual attitude towards technology that will empower them to master any tool as a vehicle for expression.
