In this class, students will learn the basics of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.  We’ll talk about algorithms that allow computers to play simple games like Mancala or Pac-Man, including search algorithms, decision trees, and pathfinding. We’ll talk about how software can “learn” from a dataset, and apply that “knowledge” to improve its future effectiveness.

Explaining artwork often goes against the grain, yet artists are regularly called upon to articulate their processes, tools, and dynamics of collaboration. To help secure any of the myriad forms of institutional support including funding, venues, and engagements, artists must develop–creatively and flexibly–essential skills.

This is for advanced students (juniors and seniors) of the performing arts and visual arts disciplines who wish to find the language, both verbally and visually, that is reflective of their true creative processes, helps clarify and further their own investigations, and is readily available to present to others. Finding a public language for what is the private process of

The arts have always been one of the most effective means of political or social protest in history. Sometimes a work of art itself becomes a part of the protest whether or not it was so intended. In spring 2011 right before the Gezi Protests, Mi Minör, a play by Meltem Arıkan, was staged by a Turkish actor, Mehmet Ali Alabora, near the Gezi Park. Although Alabora and his play

In our world of decadence and consumerism, it is almost impossible to fathom a world of discipline, renunciation, self-denial, and martyrdom. The records of early Mediterranean asceticism—from the Greco-Roman philosophers to the Christian saints—overflow with stories of men who stood on pillars for years on end and women who wandered the harsh deserts completely nude. In this

E.M. Forster's Aspects of the Novel (1927) is a delightful slim volume that is itself of the same high literary level as the novels that Forster describes. We will read some of Forster's own work, a selection of the books he writes about, and discuss his observations and theories. Students will write two papers.

***Title Change from Planetology*** This course will investigate the physical conditions and processes necessary for creating a habitable planet. We will study the formation of stars and planets, and the evolution of planets after formation into safe harbors for life. This will include investigation of how both stellar and geological processes affect the habitability of

The Attention Studio is a lab class where we will engage in protocols and practices of sustained attention, most often in relation to works of art. Through these experiments we will explore the way objects and performances choreograph our attention, and study the internal movements of our own response. Our collective work will engage questions of attention that reach beyond

Poet W.H. Auden (1907-73) and novelist Christopher Isherwood (1904-86) were lifelong friends, literary collaborators, and occasional lovers. They met at school as small boys, saw each other frequently during their university years (Auden attended Oxford, Isherwood was at Cambridge), lived in Berlin during the rise of Nazism, and in 1939 emigrated together to America, where they

In this course, we will explore various forms of emerging practices in audiovisual media such as visual music, VJing, video/audio mashups, live Foley for video and movement. The readings and discussions will give an introduction the audiovisual performance practice as well as the history of early audiovisual tools, theories on audiovisual perception, and aesthetics of collage.

It has been said that St. Augustine's Confessions--the spiritual autobiography of an Amazigh bishop from Roman North Africa--was a formative event in the history of subjectivity.  Here we find an early and influential enunciation of many of the major themes that would come to preoccupy Western writers, philosophers, and theologians for centuries to come:  memory,
