New Media Projects:
Synthesis and Performance is a full studio and group-work
course in which the entire class (students and instructors)
works together on improving and integrating various
smaller projects into the latest manifestation of the
Lumiere Ghosting Project and for inclusion as part of
what is displayed inside the CompuObscura. The primary
focus of the course is in the practical synthesis of
the theories and technologies students have worked with
in New Media I & II.
While the class focus is on developing
work for the Lumiere Ghosting Project and the CompuObscura,
students are also still encouraged to continue refinement
work on their individual projects.
In this course, students learn
how to manage high-level group production projects,
practice professional presentation techniques, and also
investigate some of the commercial and professional
aspects of new media production through site visits
and guest lectures that cover work produced for the
marketplace and for the fine arts.
The student work (both individual
and group) is critiqued and refined throughout the quarter
by in-class participation from a rotating board of evaluators
gathered from academia and industry.
