*Master Class Format:* In this five-hour Master class and guided group critique, Golan Levin will bring his expertise and experience in computational arts and interaction design to the problem of advising your projects. Each participant should expect to present (from a laptop/projector) a project or proposal for approximately ten minutes. Levin will then provide feedback, brainstorming, and guided discussion for each project. Projects may be in any discipline of new-media arts and/or design, and in any state of completion. Limited to 15 participants (or participant-teams). This workshop will be what you make it, so be prepared to share your work, enthusiasm, and curiosity! *Registration:* Please email Harry Silver: [email protected] *Golan Levin:* Golan Levin is concerned with reclaiming computation as a medium of personal inquiry and cultural innovation. He teaches "studio art courses in computer science," on themes like interactive art, generative form, digital fabrication, information visualization, gestural robotics, and audiovisual performance. Levin has particular expertise in the application of computer vision, signal processing, and statistical data mining techniques to problems in interaction design, visualization and user experience. Levin is Associate Professor of Computation Arts at Carnegie Mellon University, where he also holds courtesy appointments in the School of Computer Science and the School of Design. Levin is also Director of CMU's Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, a laboratory for atypical and anti-disciplinary research across the arts, science, technology and culture. A two-time TED speaker and recipient of undergraduate and graduate degrees from the MIT Media Laboratory, Levin was named one of "50 Designers Shaping the Future" by Fast Company magazine in October 2012. Golan has spent half his life as an artist embedded within technological research environments, in places like the MIT Media Laboratory, the Ars Electronica Futurelab, and the former Interval Research Corporation in Palo Alto.
