This winter term (Winter 2025), NMCC invites you to consider enrolling in Dr. Colin Ives’ course ARTD 413/513: Machine Vision and Artificial Intelligence (MW 12:00-2:50pm).

Course Description:
Artists can use their unique perspectives to explore the cultural and societal implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential impacts on humanity. Through their work, they can raise awareness of the ethical considerations surrounding AI, spark critical dialogue about its use, and experiment with AI as a tool to create new forms of expression, pushing the boundaries of traditional art-making. By engaging with AI, artists contribute to a more nuanced understanding of its potential and limitations, helping to shape its role in society. This course will explore the growing field of AI through creative expression, focusing on Machine Vision and AI-driven image and video generation. We will engage with and examine the contradictions, challenges, and possibilities that AI presents to contemporary practitioners.

Please note that students are required to complete ARTD 370, 378, 416, or equivalent work as a prerequisite to enrolling. Contact Dr. Ives at ives@uoregon.edu to discuss any questions you may have.
