NWMEDIA C203: Critical Making Showcase 2017 Revisited

Critical Making students operationalize and critique the practice of making through both foundational literature and hands on studio culture. As hybrid practitioners, students developed fluency in readily collaging and incorporating a variety of physical materials and protocols into their practice. With design research as a lens, they envision and create future computational experiences that critically explore social and culturally relevant technological themes.

In this final provocation, students were challenged to envision and create a landscape of new-wearable interactive technologies.

Selected projects this semester focused on Protest Designs and Human Powered Transportation were also showcased.

You can see a preview video of this amazing work below!
