| Course Objectives: | The main objective of the course is to focus on the use of sound elements in media environments. The course introduces and analyzes forms of new media & interaction design as well as the concepts of multimediacy, remediation, sound art, conceptual art etc. The basic principles of sound design for visual media will be exercised. The students will be able to experiment with creative use of sound to accompany and enhance visual media. |
