F 9:30-11:20 Raitt Hall 205
Covers recent advances and current trends in digital arts and experimental media research. Students discuss and demonstrate their own ongoing research and creative projects. In-depth examination of new artwork and research by visiting artists, scholars, and curators.
This quarter the studio will focus on sharing your research with local art mediators. Each week one of the students will host a studio visit which will be attended by peers and external invited curators. Students may choose to use the DXARTS gallery to create an open studio, or use their own workspaces, or any other labs to present their work. The challenge this quarter will be in:
a) Considering how you can present your research to someone that has no prior knowledge of your work
b) What materials will you use to communicate your current work and interests with the invitees and your peers.
The goal this quarter is to participate in peer-discussion about each person's research methodology, and presentation style, and engage with the local art mediators that can generate opportunities for you to show your work.
The class deliverable is to hold a 'studio visit', but alternative formats like giving a workshop, doing a performance, or creating a publication for sharing your research are also welcome.

RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY STATEMENT
The diversity students bring to this class (including gender identity, sexuality, dis/ability, age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race, nationality, religion, and culture) should be honored as a resource, strength and benefit. We will strive to create an environment in which each class member is able to hear and respect others. If something is said or done in the classroom, or in a discussion by the instructor or other students, that is particularly troubling or causes discomfort or offense, it is important to address it. While our intention may not be to cause discomfort or offense, the impact is something that we should consider to be very important and deserving of attention.
THE UW FOOD PANTRY
The UW Food Pantry helps mitigate the social and academic effects of campus food insecurity. They aim to lessen the financial burden of purchasing food by providing students with access to food and hygiene products at no-cost. Students can expect to receive 4 to 5 days’ worth of supplemental food support when they visit the Pantry. For information including operating hours, location, and additional food support resources visit https://www.washington.edu/anyhungryhusky/the-uw-food-pantry
RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATIONS
Washington state law requires that UW develop a policy for accommodation of student absences or significant hardship due to reasons of faith or conscience, or for organized religious activities. The UW’s policy, including more information about how to request an accommodation, is available at Religious Accommodations Policy (https://registrar.washington.edu/staffandfaculty/religious-accommodations-policy/).
