DIY Broadcast Media: Radio, Light and Sound This course explores the use of radio, light and sound as media through which an artist can create a public voice. This course takes a hands-on, do-it-yourself approach to these media, providing a basic background in electronics theory and practice, as well as in programming and use of microcontrollers. Topics covered in this course include, but are not limited to, low-power radio, locative media, hactivism and culture-jamming. Some examples of activities include the construction of AM/FM radio transmitters and receivers, laser projectors, persistence-of-vision displays and mobile audio rigs. A survey of the artistic significance of these media will be conducted throughout the course.

Video Game Music Composition Video game music spans and pushes the boundaries on music both popular and avant-grade. Music contextualizes the events of a game, and sound effects emphasize particular actions and ambiences. Through composition assignments and critiques, students will hone sound and music production skills and learn about the design concerns of writing music and creating effects for games. Listening assignments draw from the body of alt, indie, art, and AAA games. Class discussion breaks down how assigned material is constructed and contributes to its game. The class uses Logic Pro, but any Digital Audio Workstation is fine. Background in sound/music production, theory, or performance recommended. | Monday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Data Viz Collaborative: SAIC and NU Research and Practice Data Viz Collaborative is a class that will be team taught in the fall of 2014 by a group of interdisciplinary faculty based at both the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and Northwestern University (NU). The course has two primary goals: (1) to establish a critical dialogue about information visualization across multiple disciplines and (2) to engage students in collaborative research on information visualization using existing data sets. The first goal will be accomplished by engaging students in a series of short lectures delivered by both the science and studio faculty that discuss how images that picture complex data sets help move their own research projects forward or how images might enhance/problematize/critique/promote new knowledge acquisition in science, art, and/or design. The second goal is addressed by inviting students to join one of two research teams, which meet weekly to collectively work on a large data set to experiment with translation of numeric information into various forms. Open to both undergraduate and graduate students from either institution, the course will culminate in a group exhibition in the Neiman Center. | Friday 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Web Art Professional Practice: Web Art is a course that combines creative and practical knowledge related to web site development. Launched in 1989 as a remote file sharing system for scientists, the World Wide Web is nearly thirty years old. Today, the web functions as an exhibition space, a communications hub as well as a nexus for creative expression. Students in the Web Art class will learn the Hypertext Mark-Up Language (HTML), which is the basis of WWW authoring. Potential overall format and conceptual frameworks for developing a media-rich web site will be investigated, and ways of subverting the traditional web page format in order to create unique approaches to the dynamics of the web will be explored. Course activities include technical tutorials, preparation of a CV, writing of a project statement, and the creation of a web site. | Thursday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Media Practices: The Moving Image This seminar is designed to introduce the student to the language of the moving image, its history and the ways in which artists have used moving images in this century. The course will explore the idea of radical content and experimental form by establishing the normative models and procedures of cinema and video, and then showing the ways artists have challenged these conventions. The course will define and differentiate the two dominant forms of moving image: film and video, and begin a consideration of new and expanding forms for the moving image. The course is a prerequesite for all other 2000 level FVNM courses and intends to introduce the student to the moving image through a series of group exercises. | Monday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Sonics and Optics Sonics and Optics is an intensive study of lenses, optics, sensors, stocks, materials, laboratory processes, microphones, and recorders as essential tools in film/video making; and how image and sound should be considered at the inception of each piece. Throughout the semester students will learn the fundamentals of a lens (focal length, aperture), its relationship to the camera (shutter, ISO), and aesthetic options available. The course will offer the same immersive perspective of sound technologies; including choosing microphones (stereo, cardioid, shotgun, contact, etc), recording options (sound device, field recorder, mixing board), and methods of field recording. This course is an essential technical base for all advanced moving image work. | Friday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Handmade Cinema Filmmakers often run into a problem of depending too much on equipment. This makes one believe that it is impossible to be creative without elaborate 'tools.' Artists of film can produce images in any circumstance-with or without complicated tools. If a filmmaker understands the process and mechanism of how images can be generated, equipment can be as minimal as one paper clip. This class is designed to introduce a variety of skills and ideas to make images with simple tools. Students are encouraged to make their own equipment to produce their own image effects. The course mainly focuses on reproduction of images without using large equipment. Some of the ideas introduced in this course are making images without camera and/or lenses; animation; pixilation; time exposure; time lapse; images using slides, stills, and newspapers; all phases of in-camera effects; rephotographing frames; printing in camera; optical printing; and contact printing. Prior enrollment in FILM 2003 is recommended. | Friday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Adventures in Self-Publishing This course introduces students to the use of RISOgraph image duplication as a creative, independent publishing tool. Attention will be paid to ways artists' publishing has publishing has been used to bypass traditional cultural and institutional gatekeepers, to foster community, as well as the distribution of independent ideas and content. Studio work will be supplemented with readings, visits to SAIC special collections and class discussion addressing contemporary and modern artists. Studio experimentation and research will be encouraged. | Monday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Woodworking in the 21st Century This course explores how contemporary artists, architects, and designers are sourcing and utilizing wood in a world of disappearing resources. Architects and designers are returning to the use of timber in their work, claiming it to be a bold 21st century material due to the emergence of sustainable, engineered wood products. Demonstrations, slide lectures, discussions, readings and field trips will engage: urban logging practices, arboretums, recycled construction materials, sustainable practices, ecologies, economics, veneers, and faux wood. Students will advance their knowledge of wood selection and fabrication while producing art and design work in a variety of wood products. | Friday * Friday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM * 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Introduction To Sound This course, emphasizing use by the student artist, introduces the practical applications of sound equipment, techniques, and theory. Subjects covered include microphones, amplifiers, loudspeakers, the basic physics of sound, and magnetic tape recordings and associated skills. The concept of sound as a material with basic structural properties that may be manipulated is introduced. Students explore methods of composition, using various sound materials in assigned projects. A critical survey of sound art and experimental music introduces students to various approaches to understanding and experiencing sound within an art context. Students have studio time for individual hands-on access to equipment. No technical background is necessary. | Monday/Wednesday 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
