I have taught courses that lived in the spaces between disciplines, where sound became sculpture, philosophical inquiry met digital craft, and emerging technologies were tools for creative and critical practice. Students built installations, modeled digital worlds, and debated AI's role in art through hands-on, experimental work that questioned what was possible when disciplines collided.
Here are some of the courses that ventured furthest into unfamiliar territory:
Sonic Forms /
Sound as Sculpture & Installation
Explores sculpture and installation that use sound as material and medium, combining making with the history and theory of sound art, installation, and experimental music.
