ARTS-105 Art and the Machine (3) This course introduces the creative possibilities of electronics in artworks to control elements such as light, sound, and motion and interact with the world through sensors and other inputs. Fundamentals of circuits, use of components (such as LEDs, motors), and coding are interwoven with conceptual considerations of time, agency, perception, translation, and interactivity to produce artworks that engage beyond technical learning. Physical building skills, including digital fabrication resources (laser cutter, digital paper/vinyl cutter, and CNC) are also integrated to further amplify the application of digital skills in art making. No prior experience with electronics, coding, or fabrication is required, but students with relevant skills are given opportunities for further development. AU Core Habits of Mind: Creative-Aesthetic Inquiry.
