Course Description
NOTE: For purposes of SIAT degree requirements, this is designated as a Methods Course.
In this course, we will examine the changes from epistemological concerns about media to ontological questions of the role of interactive media in affect, experience and being. The focus will be on what is termed “affective computing,” extending it into realms of interactive art, design & media, and envisioning how an emphasis on the more bological aspects of technology and experience of it might change our understanding of affective computing.
