Class description
DXARTS 470, Sensing and Control Systems for Digital Art, is a studio course taught at the DXARTS warehouse in Fremont. The class covers software for controlling video and audio, as well as basic electronics for integrating sensors and actuators into art installations and devices. In building a critical language with which to analyse relationships between real and virtual, static and mobile, local and remote, online and offline, students are encouraged to implement new tools, new systems and new presentational scenarios for their work. The concentration in the class is on prepackaged but flexible tools, and rapid prototyping processes.
