Interaction Workshop

Interaction Workshop offers students the opportunity to expand their knowledge on the use of interactive technologies in the field of artistic practices. This is done through the ideation, development, conceptualisation and production of works that introduce this aspect applying it in an organic form according to the needs of each project. This is a practical experimentation subject that relates the learning of technique with the emergence of languages. Practical experimentation is also related to different artistic reference frameworks, both contemporary and historical.

This workshop is a part of Languages, Techniques and Advanced Technologies. Its aim is to offer students the possibility to further develop their understanding and perfection of techniques and technologies previously studied or to start to learn new ones, with the possibility to choose the languages, techniques and media that are relevant to their practice.

• Introduction to interaction and its basic concepts.
• Critical approach to the use of interactive technology.
• Areas of interaction application: spaces, clothing, audiovisual, graphics, matter, light.
