We have been commissioned to create a set of telematic sculptures that will be publicly exhibited as part of the the ISEA festival in San Jose in August 2006. These human scale artworks will exist in a cafe where they will enable remote users to communicate with patrons of the cafe.
This course will explore the design of these telematic sculptures. We will cover topics including facial cognition, non-linguistic speech components, and expressive animation. We will create prototypes of several designs, including the remote interface used to control them, the physical design of the sculpture, and its interactive components.

Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Limited to 40 participants.
Single session event
Walking through the hallways here at MIT, you are confronted by hundreds of posters, promoting a multitude of events and opportunites. What you choose to look at and perhaps act on depends, in large part, on how well the message came across. A well-designed poster can capture your audience and is effective in its intent.
In this class we will learn how basic elements such as font choice, type size, artwork, color, and copy contribute to a poster that either sings or doesn't. We will take a visual tour of posters from earlier times to the present, as well as design a few samples, based on what we learn in class.
