Students will explore the intersection of information, interaction, and installation art in this cross-disciplinary course taught by professors from Art, Design and the iSchool. Investigate the functional, conceptual and expressive possibilities of weaving together materials, technology and interaction.

Studio projects will intersect materials, information, information policy, design, project management, and interaction in physical space. Study will include programming microcontrollers, use of sensors and emitters, functional or non-functional sculpture, various data and information sources, video and sound. Possible venue for showing projects is UVP (Urban Video Project). Prior coding experience helpful but not required.
