Through exploring electronic art and experimenting with microprocessors students will learn to make artwork using light, sound, and movement. Controlled by writing simple computer code, microprocessors are the components students will use here to make time-based objects. In tracing the history of electricity’s development and its evolution we will explore how humans evolve with our technology. In following the path of historical development for computer technology the class will also read philosophy that accounts for the agency of objects.
