Course News
Feb 25 and 27
On Mon Feb 25 and Wed Feb 27 I will be at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and therefore not able to meet with classes as scheduled. There are lots of things to be done, and I expect everyone to use the assigned class time wisely. Here are things you need to do:
1. Familiarize yourself with Flash using the online resources provided (look below). Things that most need to focus on here are: working with multiple/nested timelines and basic actionscript/interactivity). For this project, people should be able to use movie clips/nested timelines and generate timeline-based interactivity (using buttons and movieclips to jump around the timeline).
2. Look at the border-interface links (in the last post) that I discussed in class on Wednesday, make a blog post that reflects on at least three of them and how you might incorporate some aspect of them in your own project. Maybe consider the relationship between the symbolic (what an interface might mean culturally) and mechanical (how an interface might function materially).
3. Work on the research presentation for your selected artist/collective - due March 5
4. In terms of the spatial interface, work out a plan of action - how you want to interpret the space as a screen-based, interactive design. One approach is to think of the project as an interpretive browser for your space, not unlike your book/map. If you accomplished something interesting with your book/map, how can that be translated? Drawings always help. The final projects are due March 10.
And, of course, feel free to email me with any questions or concerns regarding any of the above. I'll be in transit during class time on Wednesday, but can possibly set up a chat with anyone needing help during class time on Monday.
