Give and take

Description

Students will create an installation individually. This project requires some form of activated spectatorship or interactivity in the work. It must also include projection mapping in some way, unlike previous projects there is no required number of source videos. Finally, this project must also include elements that benefit one or more senses other than sight, such as smell, touch, or hearing. You may also include performance in this project if you wish. Similar to the previous projects, the topic is open however, it may help to take a political or social stance, but it is not required.

We will be viewing and interacting with the finished installation during critique in the Blackbox. Site specific works can be discussed.

Students will be graded individually, even if working collaboratively in a group.

Collaborative groups are limited to three students.
