We’re now a few weeks into the fall quarter at UCLA and the documentation website for DMA 28 is up and running. The class is described in the syllabus:

This course is an introduction to concepts of interactivity. We discuss what constitutes interactive work and how aesthetic and conceptual concerns can impact interactive design while developing computer programming skills required for creating interactivity. The concepts and skills taught in this course set a foundation for future DMA courses about the Internet, game design, and media arts.

This class is mandatory for all sophomore and incoming transfer students. I firmly believe that everyone studying the visual arts in the twenty-first century needs to be introduced to what the computer can do beyond its use as a production tool.
