Hi all! WELCOME! A new term is upon us. We are very happy to have you all here, and are excited to see the work, relationships and ideas that will come out of our expanding family in the DM MRes!
For your info – we are running two core modules this semester and (a change from last year) they run concurrently, interleaved. That is, on Oct 7th, 2-5PM we have the first section of the DM THINKING class – which will look at issues in the production of interactive and experimental media works, as well as relevant cultural theory. The DM DOING module – a class where we teach and workshop softwares for the production of creative digital media works – has it’s first session in the same time slot on Oct 14th (both in Space 7, Culture Lab).
Also running this term is Stevie Ronnie’s Web and Interactive Narrative class – Thursdays, 11AM-1PM. Space 7.
As you were told in your advisement sessions, we will have infrequent but important ‘special sessions’ for topics that come up in your course. These will, as much as it is possible, be held in the 5PM-midnight (?) time-slog following the Wednesday sessions. So far we have ideas for an expanded discussion of intellectual property and copyright as it relates to students works, a session on music for new media, and a special workshop on OpenFrameworks. If you have any other ideas for issues you’d like to look at and discuss with the group please get a hold of Jamie (jamie.allen1@ncl.ac.uk), or leave a comment on this blog, post to your own blog – in short, get in touch.
More soon… and see you soon!
