Realtime Interfaces for Creative Expression (RICE) is a 200-level course for artists, performers, and computer science students with an interest in developing novel interactive software applications for the creation of digital art, responsive environments, and new media performance.
Students will use the graphical programming environment Max to dynamically control, process, and generate digital audio and video content. Assignments will touch upon a number of related disciplines including interactive computer music, algorithmic and generative art systems, and audio/video synthesis.

This is an introductory cross-listed (Visual Studies/Anthropology) hybrid production and theory course designed for students with an interest in film, feminist and decolonial methods, video production, and visual anthropology. Classes will combine elements of a studio (sharing and critiquing filmmaking work in progress) and seminar (discussing weekly themes). Students will view films on their own and post weekly responses to films and readings.
Together, we will grapple with the entanglements between ethnographic film/documentary and colonial structures of power—particularly the ways that the field has and continues to represent the visual “other.” We will bring a decolonizing lens to explore—through texts and films—major modalities in the field including observational filmmaking, cinéma vérité, ethno-fiction, sensory ethnography, indigenous media, and more. Due to the required readings, films and intensive film production components, this course will require a substantial time commitment. A large part of the course will be structured around the production of a short film (approx. 5 min) drawing on one or more of the modalities explored in the course.
