| Course Objectives: | The main objective of the course is to introduce the concepts of interactive arts and interaction design. Comprehension of the use of new media elements in interactive artworks, analysis of concepts as well as technical aspects in interactive designs construct the core. The principles of interactive design will be evaluated through applications and design projects. |
Learning Outcomes
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) Recognize the basic principles of Interactive Arts 2) Identify arts & design scopes of new media such as computational design, data visualization and code arts 3) Develop applications of interactive arts that focuses on design 4) Develop conceptual design for interactive media 5) Study necessary software skills in order to realize design ideas into final products 6) Research the theory and history of interactive arts 7) Identify recent developments and movements in the field of interactive arts 8) Examine the process of the production of interactive arts 9) Criticize interactive artworks academically 10 Manage time that is needed to run interactive design projects |
Course Content
| The course is structured in three parts. First part focuses on interactive artworks considering comprehension of their concepts and aspects of technical flow. Analysis of interaction design and insight into the history of code art & computational art will be achieved. Second part will concentrate on the application of interaction design via the coding language ‘processing’. The students will be introduced to the concept of programming interactivity. They will be able to improve their skills via in-class applications as well as weekly assignments that will prepare them for the final project. The third part comprises the progress & evaluation of the final projects. Each student will select a topic and concept on which they will be designing their interactive work on. |
