Sign up

Choose from one of the new media artists below that you find inspiring and prepare a short set of slides to be presented at the beginning of class on the day for which you signed up. You may not sign up for an artist that has already been taken.

Your presentation should be 7min., with 5min. afterwards for discussion. Your presentation should consider the following parts (see below).

Submit your presentation (google slides or PDF only) on slack before 9:00am the day of your scheduled time to present.

Background:

Describe this new media artist’s body of work. Consider:

• What is their approach? E.g. how might they be different from other practitioners?
• What types of problems do they tend to tackle? What is their specialty?
• What concepts, narratives do they tend to focus on? Who is their typical audience?

1 Project:

Get to know 1 project of your practitioner and share it with us, reflecting on the following questions:

• What’s the work?
• How is it presented? What medium (i.e., installation, data visualization, audio reactive)?
• What’s the experience? If interactive, break down into the phases of interaction (overview first, details on demand)
• Who’s it for?
• Where does it live?

For Discussion:

End your presentation with 1-2 questions for discussion with your classmates. Good starters are things (e.g. design or implementation decisions) you learned which you want to apply to your assignments, things that you might have criticisms about, or things that may have been confusing.
