This Summative Elective course seeks to build a bridge between the artistic aesthetics in Cinema and the scientific rigor of naturally plausible phenomena. In doing so, and through analyses of scientific foundations of scenarios portrayed in different genres of cinema, including but not limited to sci-fi and superhero, students will be exposed to a wide range of topics in classical and modern physics, in material science, and in 21st century technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Information. (Formerly Titled Physics of Superheroes)
This online class uses the Moodle platform. Students will follow a syllabus that includes the lectures, assignments, and deadlines.
The instructions and login credentials for accessing MassArt technology services will be sent to registered students.
