TOPICS IN PRODUCTION: Physical Computing
FMA 4240 Sec. 2
Tuesday & Thursday - 2:40 PM – 4:30 PM 4.0 credits
Physical computing offers a new approach to media art presentation: whether viewed as interactive sculpture, live video installation, wearable devices, responsive environments—or even a custom-built media jukebox, Physical Computing allows students to experiment with how media can respond to physical and environmental input, and how the mingling of live events and synthetic responses can become part of our media expression. Working “outside the box” and using Max/MSP/Jitter software, this class introduces students to making simple sensor circuits that “talk” and “Listen” to the computer. The class will present simplified steps to technical aspects of physical computing, easing the learning curve and focusing attention on the concept and content of physical/media relationships. Students will be challenged to visualize new correspondences between the physical world of bodies and spaces and the virtual world of digital media.
