#NEW MEDIA 01 
#
#[I/O] SYSTEM: 

#IN:

Input systems: readings, screenings + [aesthetic/technosocial/conceptual/art-historical] skills + toolSets to be determined + distributed by Professor jonCates.

#OUT:

Output systems: 01 completed work in fully realized state as to be defined by the terms + parameters set by the participants. standard of completion to be arbitrated by particpants.

#REFERENCE

Reference signals are intended to help articulate the basis + influences which impact the "new media" as a [concept/construct], art as a system + New Media 01 as a course.

#NEW:

New Media's new-ness will be [discussed/developed] in relation to utopian hopes + promises, faded glories + various futurisms.

#I/0: 
# 
#INPUT:

students will be expected to try [technologies/systems] which are [demonstrated/discussed] in class. these [technologies/systems] will incl object oriented programming for media files (i.e. {ActionScript, FlashMX + Sorenson|entropy8zuper|Alan Kay's 'Personal Dynamic Media'}), transcoding (i.e. {Cleaner + QuickTime| the Boston CyberArts Festival's Transcodex|Vivian Sobchack's 'Nostalgia for a Digital Object'}) + web-based approaches to experimental media arts (i.e. {[scripting/coding/programming] media with various languages|Mongrel's NINE|Vannevar Bush's 'As We May Think'}). those [technologies/systems] + others should all be considered during the creation of work to be critiqued during class meetings.

#OUTPUT:

00: students will keep journals, blog, diaries, sketchbooks +/or other such practices during the semester. in the case of digital practices such as blogs, vlogs, etc students will make the uri's of these known to the class. in the case of analog or physical practices, students will make these available to the Professor for review on the Professor's request.

01: assignment will be given + this assignment should articulate in some way, the concerns of the class. i do not, however, assume that this assignment will be solely relevent to or limited in scope or application to New Media 01.

#EXCLUDE:

there will not be any tests or any assigned technical excercises.

#EVALUATE:

we will critique all student projects twice (as a class) + i will address projects + students individually throughout the semester.

#PARAMETERS

class will meet every TUES from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 PM, with a one-hour break for nutrients, with the exception of Graduate Critique Week.

attendance and punctuality are required. 3 absences == NO CREDIT. 2 lates == 1 absence.

#GRAPH:

classTime will be divided in the following manner:

90% Input 
10% Output

Inputs will be divided in the following manner:

30% techno-social skillset development 
30% readings + discussions 
30% screenings of relevent works 
10% critiques of student projects
