A photograph from the Cassini spacecraft of Saturn’s moons Titan and Dione. I saw Cassini while it was being assembled at JPL in (I think) 1996. Fifteen years later, it’s sending back these fucking incredible photos of other worlds. We, as a country, should so be funding these sorts of things.

Thesis I, DDA660a, Spring 2012

Course Description:

This course is your thesis-project course. During it, you produce the thesis project you proposed in DDA-650, Thesis Research, and had approved by your Thesis Committee. The course is run as a seminar. That is, there is no preset list of instructional topics. Rather, issues—conceptual, artistic, and technical—are dealt with as they are raised by your projects. Students are expected to work regularly and at a steady pace without formal tests or assignments. This requires independence, maturity, self-motivation, and self-scheduling on your part.
