MAS.878 is a visiting lecture series, a discussion forum, and a venue for interesting projects in interactive art. The class meets almost every Thursday afternoon from 3 to 5 PM at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies, MIT Room N52-390 (directly above the MIT Museum).
The class is conducted by Glorianna Davenport <gid@media.mit.edu> and Steve Benton <sabenton@mit.edu>. Regular attendance and participation in discussions with the visiting artists is required, as is a final project that incorporates ideas that you have developed during the course of the semester. These will be publicly presented at a "show" at the end of the term.
