Web Projects Students will create art works using the Internet as a medium. Examines ways the web has been conceptualized during its brief history-- as a mutable archive, as a multitude of communities, as canvas and performance space, and as a medium through which one may perceive, act, and understand at a distance. Interactive artworks will be created using tools such as Dreamweaver, Flash, HTML, and PHP. Winter, MW 10:00-11:50, Cummings Art Building, Room 127, Franceschini | |

Digital Art in Public Spaces This class examines interventions in public space with a focus on social networks, both on- and off-line. It will look at how individuals can become both distributed and localized participants in shared experiences that can exist city-wide or on a personal scale. Both digital and non-digital interventions focus on creating a dialogue with the public. Students critique social systems through readings, discussions, visiting artists, and field research, and will create projects which engage and challenge current uses of technology in public spaces. Spring, TTh 10:00-11:50, Cummings Art Building, Room 127, Christensen | |

Art & Biology This studio course looks at the relationship between biology and art. Rather than addressing the ways in which art has assisted the biological sciences (as in medical illustration), we'll focus on the ways in which biology has influenced the art-making practice. Course material will address new technologies and experimental directions, historical shifts in artists' relationships to the living world, the effects of research methods on the development of theory, and changing conceptions of biology and "life". Students will create artworks that address these themes and others that emerge from class discussions and presentations. (not offered spring 2006) | |
