This next assignment will offer some preparation for thinking through instructions and telematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> For this exercise, we would like you to experiment with a partner in creating a<em> telematic experience<\/em> for another person for 30 minutes. You will do this exercise twice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each student will write a score for their project partner to actuate\/perform for an audience member. (The audience member can be someone in the performer&#8217;s quarantine pod.) Before creating the scores, discuss your boundaries and give consent for what is okay in regards to the kinds of instructions given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the telematic experience, briefly interview your friend who volunteered to participate. Then we&#8217;d like you (just students in the course, not volunteers) to jointly write a blog post describing and documenting the two telematic experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example of one score for your classmate-partner could be: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You will be a microcontroller creating an ambient telematic experience for 30 minutes.
