ARTF 601 Virtual Spaces and Design 3 School of Arch & Design
Graphic Design and the implementation of moving and interactive media occur in many emerging forms in addition to traditional outlets we are familiar with. Spatial Design is used to create spaces such as exhibitions and retail outlets or to design stage sets in film and theater. Furthermore, designing virtual environments for games and interactive applications and even more immersive formats, including AR/VR/MR or XR, opens entirely new opportunities to redefine space as we know it. This course explores methods of layout in Graphic Design blended with 3D design and spatial layouts known from Architecture and will guide students to break up existing spatial limitations when designing virtual spaces that allow for different types of movement and orientation. How do we perceive, navigate, and experience those spaces?

ARTF 652 Advanced Experimental Media/Performance/Installation 3 School of Arch & Design
The application of computer technologies and digital media has been applied as a fine art medium in various ways, from audiovisual presentations and gallery installations to interactive museum exhibitions. This class will explore the conceptual elements of applied technologies and the experimentation of the physical presentation. The technological demands of including machinery in artwork will be assessed. Students will be expected to design and develop conceptual models and a working design prototype for each of their projects. In­class presentation and group critique and discussion will promote the dialog and understanding of technological based artwork.
