Course Description:
IART 413 Production for Interactive Installation: Pre-production and Research
This course will address issues, which arise during the pre-production phase of project development and planning. Students will establish a methodology for managing the production process from conceptualization to execution, including budgets, timelines, case studies, and artist statements.
IART 414 Production for Interactive Installation: Programming the Design of Experience
This course will address issues of production and fabrication, with particular emphasis on materials, surfaces, and spatial arrangements. Project teams will develop a series of installation prototypes and models to assist in the planning and visualization process.
IART 415 Production for Interactive Installation: Structuring Liminal and Boundary Space
The final course of Production for Interactive Installation addresses site-specific concerns related to exhibit design and physical installation. Issues of public interaction, testing, durability, publication, and professional presence will be discussed. Students are expected to complete the proposed installation, and to present the work within a public context.
Course Objectives:
IART 413
- Prepare a professional project proposal for submission to granting agencies, institutions, and curatorial organizations
- Research case studies and literature to support and frame the project within theoretical and applied contexts
- Develop realistic timelines and budgets to guide the production process
- Articulate conceptual ideas as concise artist statements for proposals, promotions, and publication
IART 414
- Construct visualizations from initial proposals, with careful reference to budgets and timelines
- Research materials, manufacturing processes, and fabrication sources to further define the physical nature of the installation
- Evaluate and revise initial proposal
IART 415
- Evaluate and test an interactive installation, in preparation for public presentation
- Resolve outstanding issues arisen from the proposal and prototype stages
- Develop a conceptual/theoretical framework to situate work within the contexts of exhibition and publication
- Analyze and critique the work of peers, in the form of a critical review
Delivery Method:
Studio Lab (SL).
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.
