CLASSES TAUGHT
During my time at Carnegie Mellon, between 2009 and 2011, I had the
opportunity to teach several diverse courses.
EGD – Games as social interfaces – Fall 2011
A hands-on game design and development course focused on
innovative and expressive forms of gameplay. The class is structured
around two main assignment, a non-digital game or game-like artwork,
and a digital game or interactive installation. The emphasis is on the
relational potential of games: multiplayer games, play as performance,
location-based games and games for social criticism.
Among the topics: a social history of board games, alternative interfaces,
Nordic Live Action Role-Play, synthetic performances and machinima.
Syllabus: http://gamedesign.molleindustria.org/
Paolo Pedercini
EGD – Game Design for Artists, Mavericks and Troublemakers – Fall 2009 &
2010
A game development course focused on the emerging independent
gaming movement and the phenomenon of art games. It involves the
radical modification of "standard" games into meaningful, original,
impossible or playable artworks. Or beautiful failures.
Topics include: non-linear texts in literature and new media, hacking
practices, electronic entertainment and the military-industrial complex,
gender relation and representation of women in games.
Student’s work: http://www.vimeo.com/17778434
Syllabus: http://gamedesign.molleindustria.org/2010/
Paolo Pedercini
2D Animation – Spring 2012
This course introduces students to digital 2D animation techniques and
processes through hands-on lab projects. Emphasis is on creative content,
experimentation, critical thinking and collaboration. Through a series of
tutorial, screenings, and discussions, this class will explore contemporary
trends in animation and character design, and expose students to tools
such as Adobe After Effects and Flash.
Topics include: stop-motion, tweening, squash and stretch, lip sync,
rotoscoping, character design, micronarrative storytelling, animation with
an agenda, abstraction and visual music.
Syllabus with student’s work: http://animation.molleindustria.org/
Paolo Pedercini
EMS II (now EMSI) – Video Production – Spring & Fall 2010
A hybrid theory and studio course combining frontal lectures and
screenings with practical assignments in video production. The
overarching narrative deals with the status of video art in the age of
YouTube. The history of found footage and performance-based video art
is analyzed in relation to the explosion of vernacular video production
during the last decade. Topics include: ethics in documentary practice,
chatroulette and performance art, remix culture and 2D animation. Tools
used: Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere, After Effects.
Syllabus: http://ems2.molleindustria.org/
Paolo Pedercini
EMS – Digital media production – Fall 2009
A foundation studio course covering digital imaging, sound design,
animation and elements of video production. Students mastered tools
from the Adobe Suite while exploring critical issues in relation to digital
culture.
Assignments include: digitally modifying a classic painting then
commissioning it as an handmade reproduction from China, creating
stencil graffiti using Illustrator and a laser-cutter and beautifying a photoportrait for a hypothetical glamour magazine.
Syllabus: http://ems.molleindustria.org/
Paolo Pedercini
EMSII (new curriculum) – Computation in art – Fall 2011
A newly introduced foundation course dealing with programming,
physical computing and real-time signal processing. I designed this course
together with the other Electronic and Time-Based Art teachers, Golan
Levin, Rich Pell and Eric Singer. It has proved to be a particularly
challenging course because it is required for all sophomores in a
department dominated by painting and printmaking.
Tools covered: Processing, Arduino and Pure Data.
Assigments include: making a sound-responsive animation, producing a
code-generated op-art piece and designing an object interfaces with
Twitter.
