This course covers all stages of developing a project in the arts, from organizing abstract thinking to conceptualizing and formalizing ideas, budgeting and funding possibilities, execution, and exhibition.
First, you will learn how to translate the abstraction of ideas into understandable language so that people can understand what you would like to create and present. There is no need to be afraid of simplification.
Then we will look at the different natures of digital projects and how they can be created and unfolded (Can I do it all by myself? Do I need external funding? Do I need to build a team? Do I need a technical consultancy? How much does it cost?).
Finally, we will analyze the various ways, contexts, and possibilities to exhibit digital artwork in Brazil and in the world (Which one best suits my creative desires, the moment of my career?).
Have good ideas!
