Gaming a System - Imaging a Community

Queens College students have much to discover about Queens College, our diverse borough of Queens, and their place in it. Students today have at their disposal tools to navigate the increasingly conceptual and political nature ofphotography and imaging, and more broadly art, such that the picture of their landscape can be more robust. In this course, students can take advantage of new digital, social, and communication technology in data collection methods and graphic display techniques to create a multi-media “portrait” of a neighborhood nearby to QC. The course will explore the methods and materials needing to code and develop a cellphone game app for Android and iOS. Students will create team projects and presentations. As students gain the skills to control a variety of new tools and tech they can use them to enrich their photographic and Imaging practice and ability to visually communicate.
