This course requires synchronous play during course sessions. I will not be “lecturing” on “Zoom” in a way that could be usefully recorded and accessed asynchronously at some later time. I aim to produce live and meaningful interactions despite virtual distance and technological mediation. We will break into Mozilla Hubs, Online Town, High Fidelity, Discord, and many other platforms (idk, Tik Tok?) in the search of collective experiment and active conversation—and will produce collaborative content that could not be made otherwise. For this reason, your “attendance” online is essential for the short 6-week intensive session. Repeated absences will cut into your percentages.
Of course: these are *impossible* times. If you cannot attend a meeting for any reason, please make arrangements with me before and after the session!
