Distributed Courses (available online to IMA students at any site) IMA Elective:

Collective Methods: Humans have an inherent impulse to collaborate and share. In this course, designed for NYU Shanghai Interactive Media Arts majors studying abroad, students will be asked to integrate a variety of collaborative processes and methodologies for sharing into their work. First, by establishing a coauthored or user-generated storytelling environment for the collection and distribution of narratives, either fiction or nonfiction. Next, students will learn to programmatically acquire and aggregate data from a variety of online sources. Official APIs for popular social media outlets will be introduced, and standard methods for data parsing as well as unofficial data scraping techniques will both be employed to create online mashups featuring content from multiple sources. Students will then propose and

execute an open content / open source final project that synthesizes the concepts and techniques explored within this course. Readings and discussions will further involve students in debate over related issues, including intellectual property and open data. Students are encouraged to incorporate site specific elements into their projects, and students and their collaborators will be free to use text, audio, video, animation, and transmedia approaches within their work. IMA majors only. Scheduled for fall 2015

Note: IMA is developing an additional distributed course for spring 2016.
