Learning Objectives<br />
Experimental Media tries to offer insight into the transition from<br />
old to new media. Experimental Media aims at experimenting with<br />
extisting technology and media and wants to integrate cross media<br />
applications into usable concepts & prototypes.We expect the<br />
students to step beyond their traditional views on media and to<br />
critically engage with media.<br />
Content<br />
This module focusses on new forms of input and output for online<br />
content, in the context of ongoing media changes. We study how<br />
new technologies and mobile appliances create new possibilities.<br />
Possibilities that stimulate the experiment but, on the other hand,<br />
demand a critical attitude. This double research attitude (experimental<br />
engagement and critical distance) is also a requirement for<br />
the project work in the module. ‘Experimental Media’ provides the<br />
student with the theoretical framework(s) that will assist him/her to<br />
further develop an own critical perspective on these mediachanges.<br />
The project work is based on a specific assignment. A number<br />
of guest lectures will treat the subject of mediachanges from<br />
different angles. The project should result in a prototype that pays<br />
special attention to usability, experience and experiment.<br />
Evaluation<br />
The students will be assessed on the basis of a written paper<br />
(individual) and a group project. The presentation of the project has<br />
to clarify its development and the research involved. 50% paper,<br />
50% project.<br />
There is only one examination period.<br />
Tolerance is however possible.<br />
