Talk with visiting artist Duane McDiarmid
Artist Duane McDiarmid will bring to Hartwick College and the Foreman Institute The Trickster Project and with the asistence of a student and public crew assemble and install the Trickster object an autonomous solar powered platform that runs a freezer, array of camera's, and computer interface in our exhibition gallery. Over a series of workshops McDiarmid will lead students and others through the creation of new content of their own authorship based on the questions and narratives the Trickster project provokes--namely our relationship to technology and its application in
culture--the ends sought, the beliefs associated with, and the resulting outcomes. Students will via creative writing, digital image manipulation, and production of documentary drawings and video author an wide array of scenarios and editorial opinions concerning a high value technologically advanced quasi robotic vehicle that roams the desert southwest with the purpose of providing ice cream to at happenstance meeting points in remote deserts of the U.S. southwest. Workshop produced work will be added to the projects on-board archive and the physical exhibition housed Hartswick's Gallery.
Central to the project is the opportunity for participants to gain increased understanding of the use of information culture, the production of physical sculptures and technology configurations, and the development of fictional
scenarios concurrent with didactic revelations as a form of live performance art. Further these strategies of artistic endeavor will be examined in the context of relational aesthetics wherein the social interactions prompted by
a work of art rather then its own physical form is the primary contributor to the artworks cultural value.
See supplemental sheet attached or web sites to learn more about the trickster project and other works by the projects artist initiator.

First Day Welcome!
Hello and Welcome to the Art213 Intro to Digital Media blog. This blog contains up-to-date information on the class, assignments & projects. There are also important links from this blog to other class resources. This blog is the hub of the class don't forget to check if frequently. I usually updated the blog within 24 hours of class.
Part of your first assignment is to bring your laptop to class and show me the bookmark to this site.
The Intro to digital media class is an overview of Print based media, Time based media and Interactive Media. These areas of media are explored through the use of Adobe Creative Suite 4 which includes Photosop, ImageReady, Final Cut Express, & Dreamweaver as well as a hand full of useful shareware and web applications(YouTube, Flickr, Picnik & Blogs).
We will investigate the mechanics of creating Digital Media as well as consider the roll of media within American society and it's potential to alter perception. We will also look to create a definition for 'Digital Art' as a new medium within the art world.
* This class has a $100 Lab fee & you will need a 1 GB thumbdrive.

Hello and Welcome to the Art213 Intro to Digital Media blog. This blog contains up-to-date information on the class, assignments & projects. There are also important links from this blog to other class resources. This blog is the hub of the class don't forget to check if frequently. I usually updated the blog within 24 hours of class.
Part of your first assignment is to bring your laptop to class and show me the bookmark to this site.
The Intro to digital media class is an overview of Print based media, Time based media and Interactive Media. These areas of media are explored through the use of Adobe Photosop 7, ImageReady 7, iMovie, & Dreamweaver MX as well as a hand full of useful shareware and web applications(YouTube, Flickr & Blogs).
We will investigate the mechanics of creating Digital Media as well as consider the roll of media within American society and it's potential to alter peoples perceptions. We will also look to define 'Digital Art' as a medium for art.
* This class has a $75 Lab fee & you will need a 1 GB thumbdrive.
* You will need to bring your laptop to class for the first couple of weeks.
