Upper Division Interdisciplinary Studios extend a student's cross-school experience from Core Studio up into their 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. This course will meet both in-person and online. Students must be able to attend the in-person component in order to enroll in the course. The in-person components of this section will meet in San Francisco and will include time in the wood-shop as well as outside activities. Students who are unable to meet the in-person requirements of the course should be enrolled in an online-only course.Hybrid course sections will be delivered both online and in-person. Required online synchronous meeting times are listed as the meeting pattern for this course section. Additional course components will be delivered asynchronously or in-person as outlined in the syllabus. 

• A student enrolled in a hybrid course can only meet the in-person requirements with physical presence.
• The in-person component is integral to successful completion of the course. 
• All students enrolled in the hybrid course are subject to the same in-person requirements. Students that are unable to meet the in person requirements of the course should be enrolled in an online only course.
