Prereq: some knowledge of 2D compositing programs such as Photoshop,
The ability to produce a representation of space both believable and potentially inhabitable is a goal of architectural and artistic representation. Utilizing motion graphics to create 3D space out of 2D moving imagery is our focus. We will demonstrate After Effects, a motion graphics program for video compositing, then explore how this program is used for parsing of spatial paradigms, from the sculptural, to the filmic and architectural. Next we will explore spatial paradigms thru a series of hands-on exercises. The third day combines these exercises to cohere a new spatial construct beyond the accumulation of each exercise. We conclude with presentations and analysis of the projects.
Nicole DiDio is an artist and motion graphics designer

ON BLINDNESS: Seeing Apparatus and Visual Language for People who are Blind or Sight Impaired
Elizabeth Goldring
Mon-Fri, Jan 8-12, 16-19, 03-06:00pm, N52-390
No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: A pilot offering open to anyone interested in creative appro
Participants will explore concepts of blindness, learn simple optics, research existing visual aids. The course intersects areas of art, science, technology and culture to combine theory and practice with an emphasis on furthering new prototypes in seeing apparatus and new concepts of visual language/experiences for the blind. Projects will be determined by the make up of the class and will focus on areas related to engineering, optics, design, psycho physics or art/architecture. Workshop sessions will be complemented by presentations by: Elizabeth Goldring, Dr. Robert Webb (Schepen’s Eye Research Institute, Harvard University), Dr. Jerry Cavallerano (Beetham Eye Insitute, Joslin Diabetes Center), Prof. George Stiny. Dept. of Architecture, MIT, Prof. Krzyzstof Wodiczko, Director CAVS, Dept. of Architecture, MIT.
