Project Review: Concept
Description
Week 10: October 22 – 28
Prepare a 10-minute presentation from your Project Hyperessay discussing your final project concept, exploring the key ideas, and focusing on the project’s influences based on lectures, readings, and artworks we have reviewed in the course. How does the concept of the project draw from and critique the various issues we have explored relating to online culture? How does the work incorporate technical and aesthetic methods discussed? And finally, how does the project bridge your own practice with net-related ideas and concerns. The goal of the presentation is to demonstrate how each student has assimilated course concepts and reintroduced them in their own work. Location: Adobe Connect
