(We have already covered all of the material in this document pretty extensively in class, but I wanted you to have a formal write-up of that to refer to.)
Due: For presentation in-class, Weds, December 15; with a final write-up due by Friday, December 17, 5pm.
For your final project assignment you will create a physical, textile object that is necessarily digital.
The film strip scarf by Greg Climer is the classic example to think of here. There was nothing "high tech" about the final object — it was in fact a simple knitted scarf. However. Climer has stated that he considers this a digital object, because its production was mediated through many digital and algorithmic phases of a production pipeline, and he feels he could never have produced the object without digital technology.
If you wish to work in a medium other than textiles that may be OK, but you need to check with me first.
For in-class presentation: 2-4 clides. 4 minutes. Show us the physical object, show us your TurtleStich, explain how it fulfills the assignment prompt, celebrate.
For final write-up: 250-500 words. Explain what your project is and how it fulfills the assignment prompt. Your presentation can (and probably should!) include some verbiage from your final write-up. You can consider them different modalities for sharing the same ideas.
