Meet Associate Professor of Art Johannes DeYoung, who teaches classes in animation and electronic time-based media.
“Students in my classes commonly have opportunities to collaborate with peers across campus, realizing ambitious projects at prominent public venues. Some examples include installations or performances at MuseumLab, the Pittsburgh Public Library, and @WQED Studios,” he says.
“These collaborations involve ongoing partnerships with other classes and neighboring institutions, and in many cases have helped establish future opportunities for students. Students participating in these intermedia events often go on to enroll in our partnering courses, such as Experimental Sound Synthesis or Inflatables, or use work produced for these events to apply for grants, internships, or graduate studies.”
Another year, another intermedia extravaganza with our usual suspects of brilliant collaborators. It’s always amazing to see how audiences of all ages come and explore these works that our team of student artists spent the semester working on. Thank you to all that came and big shout out to @cmuideate for helping us realizing yet another dreamworld come true. #inflatables @johannesdeyoung@explodedensemble@phreeduhm
