Special Topics class, ARTS 2963
EXPERIMENTS IN ART AND TECHNOLOGY
Taking its spark from the legendary 1960s New York movement Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.), which famously paired avant-garde artists with Bell Labs engineers for the groundbreaking 1966 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering, Experiments in Art and Technology is a hands-on RPI course in history and cultural theory crafted equally for engineers, scientists, artists, and humanists. Channeling E.A.T.'s collaborative, radically experimental spirit, the course reveals that the fusion of technical innovation and creative daring is both global and pan-historical. Taught by Arts Department Professor of New Media and Music, Professor Michael Century, the class connects theoretical big ideas with real-world making, to explore how cross-disciplinary teamwork continues to redefine human culture.
