This course is a multi-disciplinary investigation of the application of force, motion, sensing and control as it applies to the creation of sculpture and other expanded media. The class will explore basic concepts in physics (static forces, tension & compression, torsion, etc.), kinematics, prosthetics, and analog and digital controls. The work will be grounded in readings that span from ancient and medieval European and Islamic sources to 20th century conceptions of automata and prosthetics. This course is intended for students of all abilities and backgrounds and does not require any pre-requisites.
