TECH 345 - Mixed Media Circuits: Design, Fabrication, Inquiry

FC CNDP

4 credits
In this course we use traditional handicraft and contemporary technologies to create bespoke mixed media circuits for diverse creative applications including wearables, performance, improvisation, and installation. Students will build DIY switches and sensors, textile and pulp-based actuators and displays, and embed or affix circuits on homegrown and custom-built substrates. We will engage in critical making, using the design and fabrication process to foster critical inquiry and facilitate discourse on what it means to make. May be repeated for credit.
