ART 6410a, Duration, Audience, and Documentation  Aki Sasamoto

This course is an invitation for making works that change form over time. The class explores the design of experiences and construction of performative events as central research topics. The class is a laboratory space to explore techniques that heighten body awareness and spatial sensibility. Through assignments and workshops, students practice how to digest these sensory experiences. Students carry out guided research on one of our core course themes, and present to the class a short lecture or collective activity. In addition to our weekly student presentations, the course is built around field trips, seminars, and workshops led by the instructor. Active participation is critical in this course. Core themes are Duration, Audience, and Documentation. Duration Prompt: Present a single project that occurs in two durations- Do the same piece in 10 seconds and 10 minutes (or longer duration expressed within the class time). Audience Prompt: Create a condition for your audience- Present the same work under two different audience conditions. Documentation Prompt: Present a work that cannot be documented; Others will discuss how to best document such a work. We spend approximately 4 weeks on each core theme, with critiques/presentations occurring at the conclusion of each section.  3 Course cr
