Latest revision as of 11:09, 4 July 2018
Fachmodul
Dystopic/Utopic Prototype Lab
Instructor: Jason Reizner
Credits: 6 ECTS, 4 SWS
Capacity: max. 12 students
Language: English
Date: Dienstag/Tuesday, 13:30-16:45
Location: Marienstr. 7b, Room 104
First Meeting: 10 April 2018
Description
“A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
– Hunter S. Thompson
From mockups, proofs-of-concept and click-dummies to speculative design and design fiction, the prototypes produced by today's artists, designers and architects express both the current state of the art and the fascinating/terrifying future of digital interaction. This module explores strategies for the development of prototypes for the screen and physical world, incorporating a range of methodologies for visual, paper, UX and functional prototyping. Participants will be introduced to the basics of electronics and physical computing through experimentation with discrete and integrated components, microcontrollers and optoelectric, electrochemical, mechanical, thermal and magnetic sensors and actors. Tasked with the conception, design and realization of functional prototypes using contemporary methods and processes for additive/subtractive manufacturing and printed electronics, students will develop the skills and competencies necessary to make the first leap in the transition of interaction concepts to digital devices and physical infrastructures.
Admission requirements
Concurrent enrollment in another IFD course offering, or with instructor permission.
Registration procedure
Preliminary registration will take place at the faculty-wide enrollment event on 4 April 2018 in the Geschwister-Scholl-Straße 7.
Evaluation
