The
Lumiere Ghosting Project also serves as the primary
pedagogical development project for a still-developing
new media arts program at Cal Poly. As this program
expands and develops, it will serve as the focal point
for the theoretical, pedagogical, and technological
work that supports the Lumiere Ghosting Project. The
program is currently defined by its three core courses:
• New
Media I: Narratives & Semiotics
• New
Media II: Technologies & Construction
• New
Media Projects: Synthesis and Performance
During one year of study, students
take these classes in order (New Media I, II, and New
Media Projects). As they participate in these courses,
students are required to produce their own new media
development projects which range from commercial applications
to entirely artistic works. By the end of the series
of courses, students are also asked to contribute, even
if in a small way, to the ongoing development of the
CompuObscura and the Lumiere
Ghosting Project.
At the end of the academic year,
all the student works produced during that year are
presented in a variety of public forums, and the best
student work produced for the Lumiere Ghosting Project
is added to a work-in-progress presentation for a national
technology forum, such as the SIGGRAPH
conference.
