Students are encouraged to think of digital imaging in terms of emerging media, digital + networked technologies. In this studio class, students will be asked to consider the contemporary image in all its forms: images as objects (ink-jet prints), images as light (projected or screen-based works), images through time (video + animation) + finally images as data (storage, interactivity + the web).

This course allows students working at an advanced level of digital imaging to work independently on a variety of projects of their own choosing. In addition to semiweekly assignments, each student develops and realizes two substantial imaging projects during the course of the semester. The weekly class meetings entail peer-to-peer critique of assignments, works in progress, technical demonstrations + exercises, instructor lectures and student research presentations.
