Optional Final Project Assignment AND Readings

Optional FINAL PROJECT ASSIGNMENT (you can choose to do this assignment, or build upon one you have started previously in the semester):

Media in Place

Use projected, transmitted, live feed, situated media to create a ritual for public space.

Ideally, you will actually do the project in the location you have selected, and the class will attend. If this is not possible, you will create a “demo” version of the project to show in class, along with a diagrammatic explanation for how the project will function in public space. Blog everything.
