IDAT 210 - The project

For the second part of our IDAT210 module we are required to:
'set a critical inquiry and to provide critically informed, culturally aware and creative response in the form of a practical interactive media project'
 In the first term we investigated aspects of digital art and its history, and were asked to write an essay on a topic of digital art of our choosing.  The aim of this project therefore is to take the knowledge we have gained whilst writing and researching for our essay and turn this into a practical project piece.  This project must also be well researched and have a critical context from which it is derived. The project does not have to be specifically linked to the content of our essays but does need to be an exploration into an aspect of digital art.
For my essay I wrote about digital performance and whether it can be considered as new in terms of its ideas and concepts. I chose digital performance as I am interested in and enjoy performance work and so this was the most suitable topic for me.  I would therefore also like to look into some part of this for my practical project, but would also like to work with something sound or music orientated as I am also very interested in and enjoy working with music.  I myself am a piano player and singer and so have knowledge that may help be to develop a project in this area.  This provides a starting base from which I should now begin my investigation, to help me develop my ideas and design my project.
