60-429: Advanced ETB: Special Topic
This studio course considers the performance skills, design aesthetics, and technical issues unique to effective communication in digital and networked storytelling and performance environments. Through weekly projects, students will develop skills in working with and/or creating a wide range of technologies for stage, film, video, the Internet, and performance art, including: systems for motion capture and CG avatars; voiceover and ADR; remote direction and teleprompting; interactive lighting, projections, and costumes; improvisation with synthetic (AI) agents; and distributed systems for coordinating large-scale participatory events in the public sphere. In so doing, the course explores the ways in which these technologies are changing our understanding of the actor's body and shifting the nature of performance itself.
