F403i Developing Practice: Evolving Approach

As the concerns of makers become more linked to our daily lives, as the line between personal and public erode in our increasingly more connected times, how does this reflect in our practice? How does this manifest in the things we make and experiences we both provide for the public and hope for them to have while interacting with our work? In Developing Practice, both a portfolio review class and teaching space for new means of approach we look to address these questions and build on the practices artists already have while making sure the outcome is the desired one and not an end point we reached by happenstance. Do the materials dictate who has access to our ideas? How much does site matter? Does our increasing interconnectivity make producing work more difficult, and if so, how do we adjust for these factors oft out of our control? Participants in this seminar should have work already in progress (all mediums considered but preference for physical objects) with ideas how to further the work they already have or a desire to flush the work out further / make an interconnected body of work.
