Description
A combination of fundamental creative practices with a focus on individual research, reflective writing, and modeling technologies in order to survey, analyze and develop experimental design ideas and prototypes inspired by the remarkably diverse adaptive physical forms and social systems revealed by insects and other Arthropods. This interdisciplinary hybrid seminar seeks to enhance critical thinking as it explores the shifting line between contemporary art and social practice through the lens of what we consider the human and the non-human. By examining the figure of the insect as it appears in art, science, philosophy, and popular culture students will develop collaborative projects that address one or more related topics including animal intelligence, networked technology, cyborg affectivity, and interventionist public art. This course has a Material and Transportation Fee. For more info visit Office of the Bursar website, Tuition and Fees Cost page https://www.qc.cuny.edu/br/tuition-costs/
