This seminar connects the arts and sciences by exploring methodological similarities and differences across disciplines between the arts and architecture, the humanities and the social sciences, engineering, natural and material sciences, alongside exploring emerging technologies such as AR/XR, AI and ML. Aimed at fostering student collaborations across research interests, students develop their ideas for projects through targeted analysis of their disciplinary and interdisciplinary interests. Each student will either enter with a project in mind or develop their project ideas within the class. Students can choose to work individually or in groups.
This seminar’s goal is to provide a blueprint for developing interdisciplinary projects. The final project is a written and visual presentation of a workable plan whose goals/outcomes will form the basis for a collaborative interdisciplinary project. Visitors to the class may include Caroline A. Jones, Paul Vanouse, Rasa Smite and Raitis Smits, Candice Hooper, Jens Hauser, Pierre Huyghe, Po-Hao Chi among others.
Additional work required of students taking the graduate version.
