Here is the assignment for class on March 2. We will be covering a great deal at that session, including music and space, architecture, image, visual immersion, information, etc. Ben Fry will also be joining the class to talk about the latest in concepts and told for interactive visuals.
The materials below were selected by Nicole L’Huillier and Thomas Sanchez Lengeling. There’s a lot of great material, so go through as much of it as you can:
Philips Pavilion + Poème Électronique, Le Corbusier, Iannis Xenakis, Edgard Varèse
