Handbook

This studio-based subject explores the transformation of electronic media from a static entity to a dynamic and responsive component of the environment. We will explore how to create rich electronically mediated experiences that operate at a human scale, how interactivity can be utilised to enhance the experience of a work, and how technology can be put into service to create dynamic and responsive environments and objects. You will develop your knowledge of working with sensing and software technologies for controlling audio, visual and/or mechatronic systems and how these can be practically applied in real world circumstances. Through lectures and technical workshops, key precedents, critical issues and practical techniques will be introduced enabling you to conceptualise, prototype and test responsive interfaces and environments.
