Masterclass: Immersive Media Display (3rd year course - Fall 2024)
This masterclass will introduce how still and moving image media can be used to create immersive experiences in physical spaces. Through the analysis and design of playful and spectacular interactions as well as projection mapping, students will be introduced to the idea of the experience economy and ways that media can be leveraged outside of traditional screen-based formats. This will be applied to the contexts of museums, galleries, and advertising, which all use multi-sensory installations to engage audiences in new ways.
Post Production Workshop (2nd year course - Fall 2024)

Blending theory and practice, this class will teach students practical considerations around moving image editing while refining creative skills with discussions about the aesthetics of editing.
Photoshop & Illustrator (1st year course - Fall 2024)
