Techniques in using digital SLR cameras and photography techniques especially around lighting and taking photos of people.
Part listening party, part discussion, new music for a new age will focus on experimental music created by prominent figures of experimental religion and the new age in America starting around 1940. Listenings will include the music of Alan Watts, eden ahbez, John Cage, Anton LaVey, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, the Ya Ho Wa 13, and others. Besides listening to these artifacts, of primary interest will be the discussion of the possible linkages between experimental music (and art) and experimental religion in America. A good starting point for discussion might be art historian Donald Preziosi's short article Enchanted Credulities (http://www.x-traonline.org/past_articles.php?articleID=194), which explores the notion of "religiosity" that he finds underpinning both religion and art, as well as what he views as religion's essential use of "artifice" to generate and investigate its systems and forms.

La clase puede tener un moderador que lidere la discusión. Propongo una mirada detenida a los Situacionistas. Podrían ser diferentes sesiones donde se puedan discutir las distintas facetas de los Situacionistas – la deriva y psicogeografia, cómo transformaban la lectura del espacio urbano y a su vez presentaban una manera alterna de leer y experimentar la ciudad, su crítica al capitalismo y la política, ligada a sus manifestaciones artísticas y postura ante la arquitectura moderna.
