Participatory Media Production
Description
The practice of participatory media empowers communities to undertake collaborative processes for social change. Outside the limitations of established media conventions, this course covers content co-creation on social media, crowdsourced media for creative work, and online platforms for participatory production approaches. The course encourages students to extend their current practice (whatever that may be) with community-engaged media, networked art and performance, curating, and media activism. Given the nature of this course, it will be workshop based with very few readings and no exams. Assignments will consist of bi-weekly creative contributions on the participation Board. Naturally, participation is important.

Congrats students for having your collective work shown at the B.E.A.T exhibition at the Museum of Boulder!
How can we be engaged with the goals of sustainability as a stimulant and not as a restriction?
"Our undergraduate class, Participatory Media Production, has created a participatory locative media-based work that assembles our different connections to Boulder Creek. The central point is the decline of the balance of natural ecosystems. We also found that we aren’t really present in nature. By documenting the creek and processing the audiovisual material, we are digitally altering nature. Each submission includes a text about the individual contributions"
