DMS 550: Methods of Making II
Department of Media Study
University at Buffalo
This course introduces basic concepts and techniques for designing, constructing, and programming objects, spaces and media that sense and respond to their physical surroundings. Moving beyond the interface paradigm of screen, keyboard and mouse, physical computing enables alternate models for interaction with (and through) computers that afford more subtle and complex relations between a range of human and non-human actors. Combining readings, presentations and discussions on the theory of computer enabled art forms with a series of hands-on technical workshops in computing methods and techniques, the course provides a critical context for emerging forms of experimental practice.
topics: physical computing, embodied interaction, hardware design, functional programming

DMS 415/455/528/603: Social Web Media
Department of Media Study
University at Buffalo
What does social media look like after the recent world events? How will the advent of emerging media change the landscape of the social web? What comes after social media? How will you use it? What will you create? In this class we will analyze web media in terms of participation and community formation. We will examine social networking sites, blogging, peer-to-peer networks, virtual communities, privacy issues, reputation economies, mobile communication technologies, activism, and surveillance while developing a critical framework for discussing the state of networked culture. We will look at the technological and cultural questions brought to the forefront by the social web and investigate its existing approaches and tools.
topics: social media, media theory, tactical media, locative media

ART 250: Introduction to Digital Practices
Department of Visual Studies
University at Buffalo
Introduction to Digital Practices is a hands-on survey of the rich and unique resources the computer offers the artist/designer. It examines both the computer's unique capabilities and also its influence on traditional art forms such as printmaking, painting, photography, film, video, music, and graphic design. Lectures will present a broad spectrum of computing issues applicable to communication design and emerging practices. Emerging Practices focus on exploring the technical, tactical, cultural and communicative potential of emerging technologies such as interactive multi-media, electronic installation, networked telematic communication, robotics, three-dimensional simulation, biotechnology, and algorithmic image synthesis.
topics: interaction design, new media art, web design
