Explore New York City through sound, digital video, images, and the web. Create an online portfolio of samples, films, images, and information maps representing the urban experience in innovative ways. Map the streets by sampling sound and re-mixing, document neighborhoods with video, and post the results on a personal, evolving website using blogs. Students will spend half the course in the lab focused on digital skills, design concepts, and critiques in areas such as time, cinematography, information mapping, and sound design. The other half of the course will be on-site in the city looking at neighborhoods as a dynamic, evolving spaces represented through sound, vision, and time-based media. No previous digital design experience is necessary, although experienced students will have an opportunity to explore advanced concepts in interactivity. Students can use their own video camera or make use of one of Parsons video cameras.
