Envision Art 01: the responsive screen Prof. Fabian Winkler This is the first course in a series of interdisciplinary Electronic and Time-Based Art classes offered through the Division of Art and Design combining resources and technologies in the Envision Center with contemporary artistic research and practice. Envision Art 01: the responsive screen investigates the complex relationship between computer-generated images and the physical environment around them. Through technical workshops, independent research and collaborative project work students will explore many new answers to the question: how can digital images interact with physical objects? The course focuses on the experimentation with both, physical objects using sensors/actuators and the aesthetics of real-time computer graphics. Students will learn to connect both sides technically and conceptually to create digital media art works that bridge the physical and digital realm in new, unexpected ways. Parallel to their project work, students will explore key works of new media art practice. Essential texts on the history and the aesthetics of physical interfaces and digital images will be available in a class reader. Envision Art 01 invites students from a large variety of disciplines to participate - possible areas of study include but are not limited to: Visual and Performing Arts, Computer Graphics Technology, Electrical and Computer Engineering.
