TICA ART AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES
The TICA group studying art and technology studies
will be introduced to the fundamentals of image editing, sound
editing, video editing, and HTML editing for web site design.
ART PROJECT FOR THE WEEK
Your final project for the course will be a website that creatively
explores a specific place in Chicago. This project could be
structured as a journal or diary, or it could take a more experimental
form, such as an abstract slideshow, or a series of links, or
a sound or video piece mounted online. Each TICA participant
will select a different place to research—this avoids
the problem of everyone selecting Millenium Park's fabulous
Bean. We will have a sign-up sheet on Monday for you to claim
your Windy City site. On Friday afternoon at 3pm, we'll be having
an open house so each of you can put your websites on display
for the group.
Potential research venues:
-A particular intersection in the city
-Your favorite el stop
-A statue you'd like to find out more about
-A sculpture across the street in the Art Institute's sculpture
garden
-Trees or plants in a particular garden
