What is “real”, what is “reality”? How can we be sure that we see the world as it really is, and afterwards are making decisions and conducting actions based on logical thinking and reliable facts? The main topic of this period deals with reality, light, perception, and shaping behavior through shaping perception. How can the process by which people receive and process information be utilized for greater influence in our messaging and design?

On the other side, this semester explores how we observe, analyze, and study phenomena around us. What is easily seen or hidden? What can we learn from careful observation, documentation, comparison, and analysis? How does light emphasize or hide information from our eyes and other senses? How can data be studied to show us order in seeming chaos?
