Space, Art and Technology
2019/2020
Content, progress and pedagogy of the module
The basis of this module is the creation of spatial experiences. Experiments will be made with various technologies, tectonic and architectural principles for the creation of spaces, physical spatial structures and experiential environments. Students work with mechanical and technological means in the creation of spatial experiences.
Students work theoretically and experimentally with realizations of spatial installations including the transformation of space by the use of responsive or interactive technology.
Courses:
In connection with the module, the following courses will be
offered:
- Space, Art and Technology
- Artistic and Academic Methodology II
Other courses may be offered within the following areas:
- Perception in Theory and Practice II
- Digital Representation I – 2D and 3D Construction methods

- interaction between people, space and technology, choice of materials and visual effects
- the application of technology in connection with the creation and use of spatial experiences
- methods and tools to be used in the creation of spatial experiences from idea to completed project
Skills
Skills in
- identifying and formulating an art problem within the theme “Space, Art and Technology” and developing alternative concepts for a defined problem
- developing and describing artistic concepts within the theme
“Space, Art and Technology” - the application of appropriate technologies in regard to design and use of responsive and interactive spaces and spatial experiences.
- producing sketches, models and prototypes of spatial form
Competences
Competencies in
- describing and analyzing physical spaces and their social, emotional and performative aspects
- formulating a problem formulation that focus on space and technology

Exam
Exams
| Name of exam | Space, Art and Technology |
| Type of exam | Oral exam based on a project
An oral exam based on a project.
The examination will take the form of a conversation between the students, the examiner and another examiner on the basis of the project report or portfolio prepared by the student(s) as well as the product created by the students. The project exam will also address other content from the module courses. Form of examination: b) Number of pages: the written work must not exceed 10 pages per student (15 pages in the case of individual reports). Duration of examination: 20 minutes per student and 10 minutes for assessment and communication of grades per group, however, the duration of the examination is maximum 2 hours. The assessment is made of the individual student based on the learning objective. The assessment must also be based on an overall evaluation of the project report, the presentation, the joint discussion and the individually oriented questions. In order for the examinee to pass the exam, all these aspects must be satisfactory. The project report is thus part of the overall basis for the assessment, and is not given an independent grade. |
