BA Design Communication

This project tackles two interrelated ideas: ‘computation in design’ and ‘critical making’. Starting with simple applications, students will engage in ‘play’ that involves technologies. A prerequisite is that students must come willing to engage with code and making (a basic toolkit will be provided). Working in small teams, students will develop a series of ‘design probes’ through technological experiments and applications. One may think of the ‘design probes’ as ‘tools’ or ‘interfaces’ that can allow for interactions between humans and machines. Each team will document and present their series of experiments and processes on a microsite.
