IART 320 Electronic Theatre: Virtual Performance
This course concentrates on virtual representation of self and role-playing within networked environment. Projects will explore notion of identity and the construction of personas in electronic theatre and multi-user environments in general.
IART 321 Electronic Theatre: Telematics in Performance

IART 321
- Introduction to telepresence and its models of interaction
- Development of ubiquitous performance applications for emerging technologies
- Understanding of concepts of embodiment and materiality
Delivery Method:
Studio Lab
In this course delivery model students meet once per week in a laboratory environment to work on projects under the mentorship of an instructor. Learning that would traditionally occur in a lecture is instead supported in a Web presentation that includes multimedia and interactive elements. Weekly face-to-face meetings and online conferences enable students to view and critique each other’s work. Some courses, using this model, offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment is primarily based on project work.
