FC ARHU

4 credits
This course is an introduction to creative technology. This is a hands-on exploration of programming, prototyping, fabrication, and electronics with an emphasis on physical computing, the process of connecting offline objects to digital potential. Topics include communicating between digital and physical systems, installation design, 3D printing, projection mapping, up-cycling discarded electronics, and the new modes of activism these topics enable. This class is a studio/seminar hybrid, so students should be prepared to read, discuss, create, and critique.
