Learning outcomes

Student
- is able to apply new techniques in visual art work

Implementation and methods of teaching

Before the beginning of the course the student must pass J. Hyneman Center course in Moodle.

The course includes face-to-face teaching, lectures and independent work.

Student time use and work load

Daily attendance is required, as well as completion of projects.

Contents

The Art and Technology course aims to broaden students' range of tools and techniques for making art. The starting point is to explore the student's relationship with technology and how it could be useful in their own artistic work.

The course will explore what 3D modelling, printing and laser cutting are, for example. The course also aims to explore other new or emerging technological ways of making art, and to discover their potential. We will explore the concept of NFT and its possibilities, and explore the potential of artificial intelligence as an aid to art making.

The course develops the possibilities of performing immaterial art in an environment where you cannot make concrete art. The teaching is done in collaboration with LAB and SAMK's Art, Technology and Sustainable Tourism project.

The course will explore LUT's XR lab, i.e. the virtual reality and augmented reality spaces, as well as other potential openings.
