For over three decades, students at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design have studied methods of incorporating analog and digital electronics in their art practice through the Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) program. In this presentation, two MassArt teachers will talk about the history of young artists working with code and hardware and the evolution of their tools and ideas. They will describe some of the issues that accompany teaching technology and how they’ve changed over time. And many juicy examples of art work will be screened and shown.
