IMDM390

A concept-driven, team-based collaborative studio course connecting inquiry, knowledge, and practice. Students will work together to create experiential works of immersive media. This course moves beyond the technical applications of software and emphasizes innovative thinking, social engagement, and problem-solving. Student teams will draw upon their unique skills to create works that participants can inhabit in a way that can only be achieved using new and emerging technologies. The process starts with small-scale "sketch" creation and evolves into larger-scale compelling works of immersive media. Teams will need to organize research methods and goals, engage in production, and explore how to communicate, display, and document their work. As projects develop, feedback will be provided through periodic presentations, peer-critique sessions, and instructor reviews.
