\/*This studio is structured into four\u00a0units in order to foster a range of conceptual and technical creative approaches and a trajectory from group workshops to individual projects. Please note that the below outline is subject to change\u00a0according to emergent properties of the class.<\/p>\n
The syllabus indicates when a reading will be discussed in class and when it is strongly suggested but will not be formally discussed due to the overall necessary balance of live work, coding, and history\/theory*\/<\/p>\n

\naesthetics and conditions of entanglement
\nscreenings: historical and contemporary virtuality
\nintroductions
\nworkshop in site-specific \/ geo-locative practice
\nintroduction to LAYAR Augmented Reality geo-layer database
\nReading: Chris Salter, Entangled: introduction<\/a><\/p>\n
\ncollaborative geo-locative micro-performances
\nReading: N. Katherine Hayles, How We Became Posthuman: Prologue
\n<\/a>Assignment: Places of Seeing
\nCollection of materials for next week’s vision AR tutorial. Each member of the group is given a different task<\/p>\n
\nfind or create target image (must exist physically – book, object, on clothing or as tattoo – and virtually – as jpg or png)
\n(in ++resources: see\u00a0layar vision layar for guidelines for machine recognizable images)<\/em>
\n2. animator
\ncreate animated gif from or in response to group content
\n3. scenographer: geo-spatial
\nalter (expand or edit) geo-spatial content to improve immersion, cohesion, aesthetic, etc.
\n(in ++resources, may need to reference ftp access,\u00a0mysql databases, and layar xyz)<\/em>
\n4. scenographer: object
\nfind or create an “extension” – an object for use in live performance<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>workshop in readymade machine-vision with augmented\u00a0objects and images

\nperformance lab
\nAssigned Reading: Wendy Chun,\u00a0Computers That Roar
\n<\/a>Task: Install Xcode \/ openFrameworks: SEE LOG<\/a>\u00a0(week 3: 2\/9) for instructions<\/p>\n
\ncomputers as metaphor,\u00a0conceptual instructions, recipes;
\nbasic programming and compiling in c++; human-machine dialogues with input and output text, pointers and memory addresses
\nTask: Performative Poetics of the Command Line<\/strong>
\nDownload in-class + extra examples here<\/a>\u00a0(see readme to review compiling). To review concepts, study\u00a0the C++ tutorial here<\/a>, looking over\u00a0compilers, basics of c++,\u00a0control structures and functions. \u00a0The goal is to familiarize yourself with the language and its structures so\u00a0don’t worry if you aren’t able to master all of the material. Attempt the following exercise:
\n* Roll a 10-sided die once here<\/a>.
\n*Choose a word based on your roll: 1.PORT \/ 2.MEMORY \/ 3.PING \/ 4.DOMAIN \/ 5.PAYLOAD \/ 6.SNIFFER \/ 7.INJECTION \/ 8.HACKING \/ 9.SERVER \/ 10.PACKET
\n*Compose a text of 1 sentence or less that responds creatively to your word (considering human\/geo-physical\u00a0and virtual\/computational references)
\n*Create a performative command line text to present in class next week, working with the examples provided and the c++ tutorial<\/span><\/p>\n
\n1. launch terminal
\n2.navigate to your folder (e.g.: cd ~\/Documents\/MixedReality)
\nhelpful commands:
\nls (lists files in folder)
\n..\/ (back up to previous directory)<\/p>\n
\ntype ls to see that executable has been created<\/p>\n
