The first week of class was very informative of what to expect this coming semester. As a class we all agreed on a participation rubric. Which included providing and receiving feedback, meaningful questions, problem solving in and out of class, being helpful to peers with ideas and technical problems, and last taking notes in class. On Wednesday we went over a slideshow of incredible works of art and discussed how we could be doing better in electronic art in this day and age. The technology that we use now is so much stronger, so it is fun to think of the possibilities in electronic art. My favorite piece was Deborah Hays "Solo". After that we discussed Interactive art as " conversational" and Reactive art as "responds to input". Then went over the concept and examples of input, distance, color, light. And examples of outputs, anything electrical, sound. We then went over our first project, creating significant, meaningful art work that incorporates rich physical interactivity. And finally we played around with circuits, which was interesting to see how powerful such a small machine has.

Week 3 Blog

Lilly Moore 1/25/2024 Rob Duarte  There is not too much to update with this week. Unfortunately class was canceled due to the snow. It worked out though because I had gotten the flu and was able to rest up. On Thursday morning we had a guest speaker show us some things we are hopefully able to use for our projects. I spent the week catching up on the first lab and coming up with more ideas for my first project. For lab 3 I was a bit lost so I am planning on asking questions this coming Tuesday in order to complete it. There was no video explanation in the lab, so I wasn't sure if I was completing it correctly.

Lilly Moore 1/18/2024 Rob Duarte  Art 4925  This week was extremely eventful in this class. Tuesday we went over our ideas for the first project. This was so cool to see other peers ideas and goals. It gave me more ideas and opened up new possibilities for myself. Unfortunately I wasn't able to complete the first lab by Thursday. This made lab 2 seem extremely intimidating, but luckily my classmate was able to help me out. I am going to need to make up the first lab and update this blog entry tomorrow. After completing the second lab it didn't seem as scary. This is a whole new realm of technology I haven't experienced so I am excited to see what we can do with our kits. Also Rob had the great idea to get an old lunch box to hold the pieces in our kit.
