MAPPING AND PLACE

Art + Tech Graduate Seminar

This seminar introduces students to mapping and exploration as a potential methodology for their own art practice, interpreting and situating their work with a physical and/or virtual context/place. Students will interface with the local landscape conducting experiments and interventions with their surroundings with the intention of developing strategies that inform their work/projects. This class looks for the connections between students’ own work and geography, GIS, GPS, landscape architecture, critical theory, anthropology, and natural resources.
