This course is a central element of the MFA experience at Parsons and is focused exclusively on the development of students' work in the studio. Its goal is to strengthen students’ understanding of their own work and how it relates to the broad range of techniques, forms and ideas that comprise contemporary art. It is comprised of focused work time in the studio and weekly 45-minute, one-on-one studio visits between the student and a professor to seriously reflect on the student’s methods, ideas, process and final work. The focus of the studio visits will be on students’ personal visions and development as self-reflexive, critically engaged artists. These studio visits allow students to actively and consciously immerse themselves in a lived experience of the world of art through a dialogue with core faculty members who are actively engaged makers of contemporary culture. An integral part of Graduate Core is the Parsons Visiting Artist’s Lecture Series. The weekly lectures features prominent artists and critics who discuss their current practices in relationship to larger trends in contemporary culture. Students have a studio visit with approximately two of the visiting artists across the semester and have the opportunity to learn about a wide range of artistic practices through post-lecture dialogue with the visitors.

In Adaptive technology, students will focus on building personalized experience and technological interventions for health care and rehabilitation. The class is taught in collaboration with Abilities Research Center (ARC). The ARC is a part of The Icahn School of Medicine (Mount Sinai) and is a leading U.S. academic medical center and an international leader in medical and scientific training, biomedical research, and patient care. Students will work with a team of neuroscientists, rehabilitation specialists, designers, and engineers to develop technology-driven responses for individuals with a range of abilities and chronic conditions with a focus on use of technology to enhance functional independence. Throughout the course, students will learn about the history of assistive technology, common causes of technology abandonment in the disability community, and get hands-on experience with emerging technologies and methodologies used in assessment and rehabilitation. The course will consider a variety of technical skills, prototyping methods, and aesthetics in the context of rehabilitative care and everyday life improvement for individuals with disabilities. The examples include adaptive eSports for motor function improvement in individuals with cerebral palsy, virtual reality for pain management and eye-tracking technology for augmentative communication. Students will design and fabricate prototypes of interventions (equipment, software, product, wearables, garments, games etc) that focus on a specific need of individuals with disabilities. As a part of the class students will be expected to visit the ARC center at Mt Sinai Hospital to work with the medical team and patients.
