Medium Interaction Seminar
This course will focus on a specific materials through the experience of discovering and manipulating the potential of that material to create structural works of art. While using the designated material as a medium, each student will repeatedly test trials, and discover the techniques and vocabulary made possible by the material through hands-on experience. Next, all participants will share these works, referring to and citing each other to create more complex forms and structures. Finally, each participant will complete his/her own unique work by relating it to his/her own research theme. Works will be presented in any format, including exhibition or performance, and discussion will follow the presentations.
