It will also analyze the unique possibilities of this hybrid and developing art form through theoretical readings and examinations of recent works, exhibitions, festivals, and the world wide web. Students will work on Macintoshes in the Art Lab, Grad Lab, and SINC Site. Technical materials, tutorials, and some essays not found on-line will be given out in class. In class we will do overview slide lectures, tutorials, critiques, and discussions. During lab hours, I have tutorials designed to give each person hands-on practice.
Digital work takes lots of time and practice.
Because you are grad students, I have given you only the minimum of practical exercises to do throughout the beginning of the semester. However, if you are serious about becoming fluent in this field, you should spend much more time than this requires. During meetings listed as 'work time' you should be where you will get the most work accomplished - computer lab with Christa, studio, library, etc. Manuals are available in the lab for much of the software we will be using. Try the Campus Bookstore and most other bookstores with a computer section.
