Art Mods: Videogame Modification / Spring 2010

I’m currently teaching Art Mods: Video Game Modification in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Film, Video & New Media dept.

ART MODS explores the popular use of Video Game engines as environments for the production of New Media Art. Modifying games by building and changing in-game elements, environments and characters presents artists with the ability to create Art Games, Media Art works, performance tools and spaces, non-narrative storytelling techniques and renderings of experimental architectures in 3D.

Digital Modeling and Fabrication / Spring 2009

In Spring of 2009, I taught Digital Modeling and Fabrication in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Designed Objects department. This class focused on 2d and 3d modeling/rendering in Rhinoceros 4 with a goal of digital output to laser cutters, rapid prototypers and CNC routers.

Graduate Spatial Imaging / Fall 2008

In the fall of 2008 I taught Graduate Spatial Imaging Studio in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Designed Objects department. This studio focused on product design/redesign using digital modeling tools including Rhinoceros 4, Illustrator and and output/fabrication techniques including printing, laser cutting, rapid prototyping, rendering and CNC routing.
