This is a hands-on course intended to reveal the development patterns underlying a wide variety of new media project archetypes. It demonstrates how artists and coders can move from high-level conceptual thinking to the specific details of project implementation. Each archetype will be covered in two ways: a look at a prototypical project that will give a general background in an area and specific examples from previous or current capstone projects in the genre. Students in this class will get an up-close look at the process involved in designing and implementing a capstone project as current capstone students visit the class to discuss their work. The emphasis for this class is on design methods more than it is on final results. Covered areas include hardhacks, community design, non-linear narrative, aesthetic transformation, and sensor systems.
