Workshop descriptions

Networked Realities/Receive and Respond

From Interactive Arts and Media (3/17):

Art paradigms exist on a continuum from the individual voice creating objects for contemplation to the engagement of groups in the performance of shared, responsive environments. This workshop tackles the notion of art as conversation, and considers the implications of interactivity on contemporary art practice.

Games For Change

From Interactive Arts and Media (3/17)

The increasing ubiquity of games as a form of communication as well as entertainment invites the invention of new forms and purposes. In this hands on workshop, you will become familiar with and create games and 3D virtual worlds that have direct relevance to everyday experiences, character roles and relationships. Using drag and drop programming tools, participants will create animated stories, avatars and game environments about social, global and gender-based issues with the goal of fostering interactive social change.
