This course focuses on practiced space through embodied thinking, as
exemplified by the Situationists, the 1960s revolutionary art collaborative, and
its successors. This course aims to place Santa Clarita at the center of its focus
as a studio to research the layers of infrastructure, phenomena, interactions
and inhabitation that comprise its network of spaces. We will explore and
interpret spaces in Santa Clarita through deliberate, observant walking
influenced by physical practices, theoretical readings, writing and case studies.
At the end of the course, each student will have created a presentation that
utilizes text, image, sound and/or movement based on their research results.
