Interdisciplinary Studios extend a student's cross-school experience from Core Studio up into his or her upper division years. 3 units of Interdisciplinary Studio are required of all majors and must be completed in the junior or senior year. This advanced level studio is thematic in nature. Technical demonstrations are paired with thoughtful readings, seminar discussions and ambitious projects. Collaboration, experimentation and presentation skills are developed in concert with critical thinking.Section DescriptionThis course explores the fertile cross-disciplinary field of Art/Science. Scientists engage with the real world and filter vast amounts of potential information down to a comprehensible data set through the use of instruments. Many artists do the same thing by creating conceptual or physical instruments or 'devices of constraint' to reduce subjectivity in the art-making process. We will take a close look at scientific practice in a range of fields, be exposed to artists who are delving into this territory and then be inspired to develop our own prototype instruments. The final project for the studio will be artist-developed instruments that encourage and enable a new perspective on the physical world around us. We will collaborate with the Exploratorium in San Francisco during this studio. Additional materials fee of $50 will be charged.
