Course 5: Art and HCI in Collaboration - Course
Contribution & Benefit: This course will enable participants to develop skills in planning and carrying out collaborative projects in the intersection of HCI and the digital arts.
Abstract » In this two-session course, we address how CHI
practitioners and researchers can work collaboratively
with digital artists on interaction projects. We establish
the context of the relationship between digital arts and
HCI through the forty-year history of interactive digital
art. We then address the benefits and challenges of
collaboration across disciplines through presentation,
discussion, and appeal to case studies. We guide
participants to understand potential issues that may
emerge in collaborative projects they would like to
undertake, or are undertaking, and work with them to
establish an agenda to move forward with
collaboration.
The course will proceed through a series of topics:
• An introduction featuring the promises of collaboration between HCI and digital arts
• A presentation of the history of interactive digital art
• Discussions of challenges to collaboration
• Encouragement of participants to submit ideas for collaborative projects they would like to work on, or are currently
working on, with issues they are facing or anticipate facing
• Case studies to ground the discussion of issues
• Reflective discussion of the digital art represented at CHI2012
• Encouragement of participants to write an agenda for their collaborative projects based on results of the course.
