- Week 1: Data Collection. Understanding the topic, context and possibilities
Understanding the topic, context, and possibilities,
including technological impact on body awareness - Week 2: Material collection, experimentations and first prototype
Material collection, experimentations, sensing, and first prototype
w/ attention to material scarcity, environmental & social impact, and resource-conscious design. - Week 3: Fabrication, advancing prototypes
Fabrication, advancing prototypes
using digital fabrication and data w/ focus on validity of core design choices - Week 4: Fabrication, advancing prototypes & first performance
Fabrication, advancing prototypes & first performance w/ attention to following analysis of the interplay bodily / sensory responses and movement inspired by design / material. - Week 5: Production & performative engagement
Production & performative engagement, including shaping/understanding emerging narrative of final performance - Week 6: Final production, finalising details & Documentation
Final production, finalizing details & Documentation. Putting it all together ending w/ reflection on the project & process.
...
- In-class Exercises, Performances & Weekly progress reviews (bring iterated prototype/sketches/experiments for each mentoring)
- Mid-Class Delivery: PDF showcasing concept, prototype & inspirations
PDF featuring texts and visuals: Overall Concept, Main directions, Inspirations/Related Work (references, authors, dates, visuals), Material inquiries, and Prototype - Final Project: Interactive embodied fabricated apparatus
FInal version of your work iterated on for several weeks. Use Data-Collection, Generative Design Methods and Digital Fabrication to create an interactive body apparatus (wearable, fashion item, prosthesis, orthesis, prosthetics, implant, extension, external apparatus, architecture, etc).
In groups of 2-4 students
Final Presentation & Performance: Students present with their group an Exhibition of Experiments & Performance with Final Prototypes together with an oral presentation.
Presentation on: 19.12.24
- Documentation
- A 'Journal' is developed by each group of students that reflects on experiments and learnings from the course. It should be in the form of an online blog (ie. WordPress, Tumblr or other):
- The journal should be structured in a generally comprehensible manner
- The lecture notes, including annotations, are stored
- Notes, sketches for each lesson should be included as well
- Final Documentation per usual guidelines: title, authors, abstract, hi-res pics, PDF with commentary text, video documentation (see Wiki)
