3DGL202 Optics in Glass 3cr
Optics in Glass explores a range of optical
phenomena through the materiality of glass, such
as reflection, refraction, interference,
transmission and projection. By investigating
materiality and phenomenology of glass, students
learn to record / embed action in material and
create optical devices as well as ephemeral
experiences.
