Major Studio: Interface

This course is the primary introduction to the creation of work within a design and technology context and should be seen as the interface for MFADT core topics - Narrative, Computation, and Interactivity - as well as the tripartite of the program: design, technology, and society. The course is designed as a stepping stone to a student's own investigations and interests, as well as a space for exploration and experimentation with alternative design processes and methodologies. The course is run in a studio format, which means all students are expected to participate in the making, discussion, and critique of work.
