Hello Grad School!
So I just completed my first week at ITP and cant wait to jump into the second one. So far we have had our Lecture Application class with Vito Acconci who went through his lifes work from his performance art pieces in the 60s to his more architectural and design work today. The first Video and Sound class focused on the legalities of sampling using DJ Danger Mouses Grey Album as an example, as well as a introduction into the audio recording equipment we will be using through out our time in the program. Intro to Physical Computing was fascinating but totally overwhelming, we went through the basics of electrical engineering and wiring, a lot of it went way over my head but I think I understand most of it and will understand it all very soon. Still have not had my Intro to Comp Media class yet which is tomorrow. So, so far so good!
