Interactive Spaces

About

This intermediate to advanced course explores approaches to creating interactive spaces in both analogue and digital spheres. It introduces students to a broad range of unique and topical issues in interaction ranging from historical to contemporary, with a focus on the dynamics of spatial interaction in emerging media art and design. The topics include, but are not limited to, spatial perception and interaction, media architecture and space, cinema and space, embedded technologies, performance and installation art, land art, public art, virtual spaces, immersive, augmented and altered spaces. Students research these issues, conduct analysis, develop iterative prototyping and produce original installations or spatial experiences using both analogue and digital materials and technologies. This learning forms a foundation for further studies in environmental interaction and design.
