STUDIO OVERVIEW

Studio focuses on critically experimenting with what spatial media (can) do as aesthetic, narrative, and rhetorical instruments. Studio work revolves around a creative, iterative, and self-reflexive process. This process is grounded in constructive, critical feedback to work-in-progress offered during in-class “crits”.


In addition to guidelines for specific studio sessions, we will post primers on various theoretical and historical approaches to a selected disciplinary techniques and genres of spatial media. The first two primers on collage + bricolage and systems diagrams are now available, as are tutorials on photoshop (Parts I and II) and Google Earth Engine.
