Art 107: Introduction to Digital Forms

Explore the basic practices and conceptual concerns of digital media art: image acquisition and  manipulation, video, 3d design, and web/networked technology through coding. Beyond simply working with the tools, you will be encouraged to look at what contemporary artists, designers, scientists, and engineers are doing with them as well. Though this course will have a heavy technical bent, of primary importance is the overall quality of work/product produced and not the technical difficulty required to complete the work.

Remix Video

Created by Nicolette Szewczyk

For my remix video, I wanted to reflect on the experience of finishing college and how quickly those four years passed. I was inspired by Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and its famous idea that life moves fast, which felt like the perfect way to capture my senior year emotions. The video combines nostalgic and chaotic moments to reflect how exciting and meaningful college memories can feel when looking back on them all at once.

3D Reality/Unreality

Jimmy He, a Computer Sciences and Data Science double major, designed this outdoor basketball court in Rhino as part of an environment project. The goal was to create a space that feels real and familiar, like a spot you’d find in any neighborhood.
