Anotation:

The two-semester course is realized in cooperation of Academy of Performing Arts and Czech Technical University. The target group for the course are students of art academy and technical faculties interesting in connection of technologies and art applications. The content of the course is characterized as work with space and time through images, light and sound using technical and software tools. The course has form of seminaries, workshops, team work, and excursions. The student projects given in the first semester are then realized in summer semester during course The art of intermedia and technologies II. The technical equipment of laboratory is accessible to students under conditions specified on start of the course. The actual information about the course are presented on website of Institute of intermedia: https://cw.fel.cvut.cz/wiki/courses/itt1/start.

Study targets:

The goal of the course is to improve possibilities of communication among students with different type of thinking. The contact of students from technical and art schools should lead to extension of students' view of the same problems or of the world surrounding us in general.

Content:

The course consists of seminars and workshops (according to the updated program for each semester), during which students of technical and artistic disciplines gradually seek the topic of joint projects. Ongoing theme of the project ready for implementation, is then submitted at the end of the semester.

Course outlines:

1. Introduction to the course and introduction to the IIM laboratory.
2. Introduction of students from all participating schools and disciplines.
3. Sound. Sensors in the creative process.
4. Sound. MIDI and communication.
5. Sound. Working with multiple channels.
6. Projection, stereoscopy.
7. Excursion (Studio hrdinů).
8. Projection - stereoscopic video in stage-design.
9. Light and shadow.
10. Light. DMX technology.
11. Light and movement. Motion sensing and laser.
12. Combining multiple creative tools simultaneously.
13. Presentation of project concepts.
14. Reserve
