This workshop is about
intimate, personal visual storytelling. Students
conceptualize, make and edit documentary
narratives that evoke emotion, empathy and
connection between subject and audience.
Each photographer creates a visual narrative
on one theme. The focus is on connecting with
subjects and learning how to approach people
and put them at ease, gaining trust to capture
authentic moments. Whether it’s a personal
project, a magazine assignment, corporation or
non-profit, students discover how these projects
create opportunities, while keeping an eye on
the ultimate goal: creating honest, compelling
images that convey stories most effectively.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students use
digital cameras, a digital workflow with Adobe
Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop, and digital
printmaking techniques.
ACTIVITIES
Each student works on an
individual project, either an ongoing body of
work or discovering new pathways. Works-
in-progress are reviewed and discussed. The
group reviews project ideas and execution,
obstacles and how to overcome them and looks
at related contemporary and historical projects.
FACULTY Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer
and filmmaker Deanne Fitzmaurice is most
known for her unique ability to go behind
the scenes to convey personal, intimate and
emotional stories through images. Deanne,
a Nikon Ambassador, represents numerous
publications, including National Geographic,
Sports Illustrated and ESPN The Magazine.

Perceiving the natural world
through the lens of a camera is a personal
and contemplative process. This workshop
inspires and empowers students to explore
their relationship with nature. Surrounding
landscapes are used to create works
through personal approaches: constructed
imagery; staged photographs; performance
documentation;
mixed
media-based
imagery; straightforward photography; or any
combination of image-based work.

the opportunity to build images in the landscape
while honing skills and concepts. Each student
works individually with faculty to refine and
expand the work’s message and vision.
Classroom sessions include presentations on
pertinent artists, image development, editing,
critiques and printing opportunities.
FACULTY
Shana and Robert ParkeHarrison
explore the triangular relationship of humans,
technology and nature. They combine
sculpture, painting, set design, performance,
photography and implied narrative to create
constructed, dreamlike images. Their works are
currently included in Festival La Gacilly/Baden
Photo, Baden, Austria. Past exhibitions include
Mediations Biennale, Poznan, Poland, Lille 3000,
Lille, France, and Wall at WAM, Worcester, MA.
They are represented by Catherine Edelman
Gallery, Chicago.

Students learn
the basics of computational text analysis and
computer-generated text through the lens of
creative writing. Pre-written Python example
code is provided to guide students through
workshop exercises. The workshop leads up to
a participant-produced zine and/or reading.
ACTIVITIES Daily activities center around live
coding tutorial sessions followed by in-studio
exercises related to simple and advanced
tasks, as well as short lectures about underlying
theory. The second half of the class focuses
on practice, with students applying small and
medium-sized experiments with the software,
then brainstorming larger projects.
FACULTY
Allison Parish is a computer
programmer, poet, educator and game
designer. She is an Assistant Arts Professor
at the New York University’s Interactive
Telecommunications Program.

analysis are often deployed as a method to
“read” texts. But what about using these same
techniques to write them? In this workshop,
students use techniques from natural language
processing to tear language at its digital seams
and lovingly re-articulate it with computer
programming—like postmodern Frankenstein-
poets. Through a series of pre-written-- but easily
modifiable-- programs, students are introduced
to text analysis and language generation with
the Python programming language. Students
make automated “big Dada” cut-ups, undertake
poor digital humanities based on word counts
and part-of-speech tagging and exploit vector
arithmetic to write poetry.
