ARTS 289 | Multimedia Design & Installation

Multimedia Design & Installation explores the intersection of installation art and interactive media, focusing on how digital and physical elements can transform spaces and shape experiences. Students will create site-specific installations that engage with their surroundings while integrating technology to produce dynamic, responsive environments.
Through hands-on experimentation, students will learn to program and control physical systems, including lights, motors, and sensors to develop interactive artworks. The course is structured around three key units: conceptualizing space, developing interactive technology, and constructing ’poetic machines.’ Emphasis is placed on creative problem-solving, technical skill-building, and conceptual development.
