NMSA 210: New Media+Sound Arts Core II

This is an introduction to working with media and sound that focuses on the relationships between electronic/digital technologies and the material world. Topics include basic electronics, digital fabrication, interactivity, performance, and media installation. Project modules include technical workshops along with readings, discussions, and examples that provide critical and historical context. The output of each module is designed to be flexible, allowing for a range of expressive possibilities. In addition to developing technical skills and projects, we will use our time together to think about making art in our increasingly mediated culture and develop both critical and generative perspectives on media and sound.
