GROUP PROJECT SITES
Electronic Music: Past, Present, Future
Rolling Stone 2020
In groups of 2-4, research and prepare a 10-15 minute creative presentation that involves the class in an exploration of a specfic topic and a major concept of the course.
Imagine a technotopia, a not-too-distant utopia or dystopia in which technology (or the lack of it) plays a major role. Focus your topic by choosing an aspect of technology, researching the state of it today, and extending it into the future.
Your presentation should include:
- clear connection to the major themes of the course
- original website (which you will project as part of the presentation)
- active participation and involvement of the class
- visuals (posters,
transparencies, video, costumes)
- handout for the
class
(think creatively: a front page of a newspaper, a manual, instructions,
pamphlet, etc)
- participation from each member of the group
- music
- bibliography
Use at least 3 sources.
NOTE: Do NOT stand up there with notecards and read off them one at a time. Instead, think creatively: a skit, a game, a demonstration, etc.
SOME IDEAS FOR TOPICS:
- what it means to be human - cloning - digital art - speed - mechanization - artificial intelligence - how we define reality - music technology - "actual" and "virtual" experiences - reproductive technology - gender - identity - cyberspace - new media technologies - war and technology - robots - entertainment -
A 1-2 page Critical Response on your group topic is due when you do your group presentation. It can explore a thesis statement that addresses how your topic connects to one of the major themes of the course.
