Contemporary Issues in Design: Objects and Spaces for Angels and Machines
AIADO 4954 001
Faculty: Matylda Krzykowski (Mitchell Visiting Professor 2018-2019)
This studio is an experimental, transdisciplinary class. Students will develop objects and spaces while working with 2D and 3D materials, digital and physical. The formats will range from props, scripts, costumes, and video, amongst others. At the end of the semester students will exhibit their work in a curated show. The studio welcomes students interested in the built environment and in the creation of images, with a broad range of competence, from any SAIC department. An interest in experimental formats and conceptual thinking is required. This class references the 100 year anniversary of Bauhaus.
