| Summary | Students will form small teams working on a project each with its own project supervisor. Whatever the subject matter, each project provides an opportunity to prepare experimental work for public exhibition/display and for the cohort to find practical, creative solutions to problems imposed by real limitations of technology, time and personnel.
Meanwhile you are expected to explore a wealth of new technologies, developing an articulate understanding of the potential for their use in digital design, sound and performance.

| Course description |
The course will run as a studio with iterative development, group discussion, design development, presentations, criticism, and feedback. Tuition will be provided in the use of specialist tools and devices where applicable.
