16th to 20th of December 2024
Paris, France
Between the 16th and 20th of December the Paris 8 University will conduct and intensive course “Semiotics of interface”. This research-creation workshop explores the semiotics of interfaces by questioning the meanings of technical objects and graphical interfaces. It aims to develop a critical understanding of the meanings of technical objects and graphical interfaces, and to represent and express understanding of the environment through digital creativity.
Students will engage in creative digital projects to visualize and represent their understanding of their surroundings. The pedagogical approach emphasizes hands-on activities with a focus on both theoretical and practical components of digital creativity.
The course will be led by Prof. Dr. Everardo Reyes and international invitees joining on Zoom live from Argentina, Australia and Spain.
Examination:
Students are tasked with proposing an experiment that combines water, materials, and digital media, exploring how interactive media can reinterpret our relationship with water and the environment.
The final project should be submitted as a ZIP file containing all resources (images, audio, 3D models, HTML files, etc.).
The course will be taught in English and French and will grant 6 credits upon successful completion!
