Overview

Unravel the Code will culminate in a final exhibition with a public reception on the evening of Wednesday 12/11/19. The show will remain on display through winter break. Students will display physical objects that are the results of their research throughout the semester. The nature of the work will vary depending on the project ranging from functional prototypes to finished objects and operating at different locals in the hybrid space of art, design, craft, and technology. Each student/team will also deliver a presentation that explains their project and their research process.


Exhibition Displays

Each student/team will have one display unit. These are displays that we have designed and fabricated for this exhibition. Each unit has a 36″x20″ table, an overhead light, and electrical power. If more information is need than can be found in the images below, you can use this Rhino model of the displays.

compiled post on class website

The final deliverable for the class is a compilation of all of the images and written elements into a single post on the class website. This will be a key reference for determining final grades and will also persist as a resource for future users of the UNRVL website. There is a template post that has been created for you that exits as a draft with you as the author. Login, paste in the required elements, confirm that everything looks correct in the preview, and then publish your post. A preview of the template, with embedded instructions is available below.
