COM 4440 Critical Making for New Media
(formerly NMD 4440)
Critical Making asks students to engage with conceptual exploration through hands-on production activities. Making refers to a broad range of activities; it encompasses modes of physical fabrication like woodworking and fashion design, to modes of digital fabrication like 3D printing and customizing microcontrollers like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. In this course, the students will conceptualize and create original "maker projects" to explore how processes of physical production can offer new ways of critical reflecting on a range of issues.
