At this point, there are just over five weeks left in the semester. To conclude your experience this semester with this course, you will be expected to create a final, portfolio-quality, media art-based project, ideally TouchDesigner.
These final projects will be due: Friday, May 3rd @ 11:59 PM (NO LATE WORK ACCEPTED).
You will be expected to create a media art-based work that explores a topic of interest you have. Furthermore, building in the work from this semester, this work would ideally be developed in TouchDesigner, but, we will allow alternative technologies if these make more sense to your personal creative practice and long term goals.
To submit this work, you will upload;
In starting to contemplate a final project proposal. You should consider what you have seen, done, experienced, and contemplated about TouchDesigner so far this semester.
By now, you have seen how powerful, complex, and diverse the output potential for TouchDesigner is. Hopefully, you have found specific topics, ideas, or projects that have peeked your interest, or that you have wondered about completing yourself in TouchDesigner?
Please take some time this week to write down a list of ideas about what you may want to do for a final project. After completing some brain storming, you should do some research as to the feasibility of your project idea in TouchDesigner. You can look for ideas about what you might do and what you are contemplating by looking at tutorials and examples from the Derivative website, searching YouTube, searching alltd.org, and generally searching the web.
You are not expected to necessarily create this project from scratch. TouchDesigner is a big and complex environment. Instead, I suspect that many of you will combine elements and ideas from multiple tutorials and TouchDesigner examples. In other words, I expect many of you to use material and code from other people, that you pull together with additional code, and alter beyond the original. These should not be duplicative, but will contain derivative elements from other people’s work.
You should pull together a list of references (tutorials, artwork examples, blog post discussions, etc.) that prove your idea may be feasible.
For this week, you are to submit a 1-3 paragraph discussion of what you might want to complete or attempt for a final project. This discussion should be as detailed as possible and should include any images you can offer to help ground your discussion. Following this discussion, please provide the list of references mentioned above.
Please save these initial proposals as PDF documents and upload them to the proposal upload forum below as the second part of your homework for this week.
Final Project Proposal Deadline: Friday, April 12th @ 11:59 PM.
Just as with the demo reels, the instruction team will meet to film a group critique of these final projects. We will then post this for your review and reflection on. The final project critique reflections will be due: Friday, May 10th @ 11:59 PM .
