The goal is to assist students and recent alumni in achieving their academic and career goals through academic and career advising and integrated programming. Beginning their freshman year, students are exposed to career-related information, resources and services to complement their academic experiences. Students are required to meet with an advisor before completing 45 credit hours and again the semester before entering their senior year to plan their academic schedule and to track their progress in their academic program. Students can consult with an advisor each semester about progress in their academic degree program and information about policies, services or opportunities. In turn, advisors will provide guidance in choosing classes to fulfill degree requirements, as well as classes and programming that will help move students closer to their individual career goals. Advisors assist students in planning their academic program. They cannot change established policies of the Kansas City Art Institute. Students are solely responsible for ensuring that their academic program complies with the policies of KCAI. Services include: ● Academic advising ● Schedule planning 6 ● Career development and planning ● Career-related programming and workshops ● Internship/job-readiness (resume and cover letter preparation, networking, interview skills, and other aspects of the internship/job search process) ● “CAREER OPPS LIST” - online job board for on- and off-campus job opportunities ● Graduate school preparation ● Residencies, assistantships, and fellowships information ● Artist statement and letter of inquiry writing and editing ● Assistance with policies and procedures regarding academic requirements ● Assistance with educational opportunities ● Assistance with transfer credit hours Academic Support Students at KCAI are encouraged to seek out the assistance offered through academic support services.

  • The Poetics of Reflection in Digital Games
    © Copyright 2019 Terrence E. Schenold The Poetics of Reflection in Digital Games Terrence E. Schenold A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Brian M. Reed, Chair Leroy F. Searle Phillip S. Thurtle Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English University of Washington Abstract The Poetics of Reflection in Digital Games Terrence E. Schenold Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Brian Reed, Professor English The Poetics of Reflection in Digital Games explores the complex relationship between digital games and the activity of reflection in the context of the contemporary media ecology. The general aim of the project is to create a critical perspective on digital games that recovers aesthetic concerns for game studies, thereby enabling new discussions of their significance as mediations of thought and perception. The arguments advanced about digital games draw on philosophical aesthetics, media theory, and game studies to develop a critical perspective on gameplay as an aesthetic experience, enabling analysis of how particular games strategically educe and organize reflective modes of thought and perception by design, and do so for the purposes of generating meaning and supporting expressive or artistic goals beyond amusement. The project also provides critical discussion of two important contexts relevant to understanding the significance of this poetic strategy in the field of digital games: the dynamics of the contemporary media ecology, and the technological and cultural forces informing game design thinking in the ludic century. The project begins with a critique of limiting conceptions of gameplay in game studies grounded in a close reading of Bethesda's Morrowind, arguing for a new a "phaneroscopical perspective" that accounts for the significance of a "noematic" layer in the gameplay experience that accounts for dynamics of player reflection on diegetic information and its integral relation to ergodic activity.

THE FASHION OF FRILL: THE ART OF IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT IN THE ATLANTA LOLITA AND JAPANESE STREET FASHION COMMUNITY by CHANCY J. GATLIN Under the Direction of Emanuela Guano, PhD ABSTRACT The Atlanta Lolita and Japanese Street Fashion Community is a multifaceted fashion community that developed in the early 2000s. The majority of the members wear Lolita fashion which is a fusion of Victorian era dress, Rococo costume, and various Japanese street fashions. Lolita fashion developed on the streets of Tokyo Japan in the 1990s and has since spread across the world. The Atlanta Lolita and Japanese Street Fashion Community heavily relies on the building and maintenance of impressions by its members. In this thesis, I analyze face-to-face and virtual community organization, fashion, and photography to illustrate how members of the community build their impressions, how they are maintained, or how they are threatened.

  • Participatory Gaming Culture
    Master thesis Participatory gaming culture: Indie game design as dialogue between player & creator Martijn van Best student ID: 3175421 [email protected] New Media Studies Faculty of Humanities UTRECHT UNIVERSITY Course code: 200700088 THE-Scriptie / MA NMDC Supervisor: Erna Kotkamp Second reader: René Glas DATE: March 28th, 2011 1 To Mieke 2 Abstract In this thesis I argue that the current dichotomy between indie game design and mainstream design based on commercial appeal versus creative audacity is non-constructive. Instead, I wish to investigate to what extent indie game designers are able to establish a personal dialogue with their audience through their game. I frame independent game design as a participatory culture in which indies alter and modify existing game design conventions through a practice called abusive game design. This is a concept developed by Douglas Wilson and Miguel Sicart. Players who wish to master (partially) abusive games, need to learn about the designer's intentions rather than the game system. I argue that a designer's visibility in this way allows for a dialogue between creator and player. However, in a case study of indie title Super Crate Box (2010), it appears that in order to maintain a sense of fun, certain conventions of mainstream game design need to be adhered to. Indie designers, who often have the most visible and personal relationship with their audience, need to navigate between their wish for a personal connection with players and user friendly, but 'faceless' design. Scaling the tipping point too much to the abusive side instead of the conventional one, may be counter to designers' wishes to create an enjoyable game.

  • Materials, Machines, Meanings. Possible Design Strategies to Compensate Three Key Shortages of Distributed Manufacturing
    Materials, machines, meanings. Possible design strategies to compensate three key shortages of distributed manufacturing Viktor Malakuczi a a Sapienza University of Rome, Department of Computer Science: Rome, Italy. Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT This contribution starts by observing the low presence of “indie made”, distributed and digital fabrication based products in the everyday life of most people. We assume that this low presence is a result of limitations regarding the available physical behaviors, achievable functionalities, and accessible market, all of which can be optimized to the extreme with mass manufacturing. The paper explores possible design strategies to compensate these three key shortages of indie manufacturing for everyday life, aiming at better materials, more advanced functional “machines”, as well as alternative ways of creating meaning. To broaden the available material qualities, the discussed strategy is developing (and designing with) microstructures to simulate various materials. To enter more functional product domains, or machines, the paper suggests facilitating the integration of mass-produced functional elements (e.g. electronics) into product “shells”, realizable with distributed manufacturing. Finally, to compensate for limited distribution and marketing resources, we discuss the strategy of leaving the design project open for user interventions, focusing on the conceptual development of meaningful personalizable design. Regarding this latter, the paper also describes a design method and canvas tool, while the suggestions on materials/machines raise awareness around issues and upcoming solutions, contributing to some parts of the canvas. Keywords: Additive Manufacturing; Design Method; Electronics Prototyping; Microstructures; Personalization; Standardization. INTRODUCTION “Enabling indie designers and makers”, as the journal issue aims to, is a multifaceted challenge.

    Master thesis Participatory gaming culture: Indie game design as dialogue between player & creator Martijn van Best student ID: 3175421 [email protected] New Media Studies Faculty of Humanities UTRECHT UNIVERSITY Course code: 200700088 THE-Scriptie / MA NMDC Supervisor: Erna Kotkamp Second reader: René Glas DATE: March 28th, 2011 1 To Mieke 2 Abstract In this thesis I argue that dichotomies between independent game design and mainstream design based on team size, commercial appeal or creative audacity are non-constructive. Instead, I consider the potential for a personal connection between player and designer a trademark of the indie scene. I investigate to what extent indie game designers are able to establish a personal dialogue with their audience through their game, instead of regular channels like blogs and Twitter. I argue that such a dialogue is established by means of abusive game design, a concept developed by Douglas Wilson and Miguel Sicart of the University of Copenhagen. Players who wish to master (partially) abusive games, need to learn about the designer's intentions rather than the game system. This would allow for a dialogue between player and creator. This dialogue is part of a participatory culture in which existing conventions are questioned and modified, and then fed back to the mainstream. However, in a case study of indie title Super Crate Box (2010), it appears that in order to provide a worthwhile playing experience, indie designers need to strike a careful balance between their wish for a personal 'mark'
