Digital Art Final Research paper

As a culmination of all you have learned in this course, you will create one of the following for your final project:

A digital art piece
A visual plan for a digital art piece
A written plan for a digital art piece
An item of your choosing that represents all you have learned about digital art

The final project may take any form you wish and are most comfortable with. Here are some ideas for final projects:

A collection10-12 still digital art pieces
Create and submit a gallery of digital art pieces (glitch or otherwise)
Create and submit an animated GIF, including your written concept and one example of ‘work in progress’
Visual research paper on Internet memes with a visual collection and analysis of the meme ecosystem
Create a storyboard for a digital art piece involving historical photos and a modern cityscape
Provide a written analysis of Hitchbot (or a similar application) as an internet interactive digital art and engagement piece
Provide a paper on online identity and the influence of digital art in the creation of avatars, animes, representations, virtual stars (ala Hatsune Miku) and characters to represent the “self” in virtual space. Explore ideas of ‘agency’ and “community” and how that operates in a digital world.
Provide an analysis of crowd sourcing and how that is shaping design businesses like that of Local Motors
Critical analysis of art in a selected computer game
Research the concept of the “Panopticon” and surveillance in society as a digital art expression
Digital art video such as a music video, motion glitch art, or other distortion
Provide a paper on “haptics” and “taptics” and its potential for the future of interface design
Digital video with storyboard and written concept plan
Soundscape with written concept plan

Ensure that your project expresses your position on digital art, either through written or visual expression, and what led you to that position.
If you select a completely visual project, include a one-page summary of what you intend your visuals to represent, how they fit into what you learned in the class, and why you feel the concept you are conveying is important. If you select a paper, please make it 5 – 7 pages and use MLA citations and formatting. You will submit a summary of your proposed final project this week.
