===MoHA Fall 2015 Courses===
Moha is pleased to present two new course offerings as a part of our educational initiatives. Both class offerings are pedagogical experiments which allow flexible attendance and emphasize critical thinking, dialogue,and discussion (see below for full class descriptions and details) Each class will be conducted once weekly for 2 hours over a 4-week period (note course descriptions for dates).

===Social Media Archaeologies and/or Poetics for the 21st Century: Adventures in Document Creation.===
With Lauren Klotzman

Sundays, 10/25 thru 11/15 from 7pm to 9pm

In this salon-style workshop, we will structure class time as if it were a networked interface/social media apparatus, with dedicated sections of time spent “sharing,” “reblogging,” making “status updates,” “commenting,” etc. We will look at works by anonymous meme-makers, underpaid visual content coordinators, and marketing interns (as well as works by more “established” content-makers). Bring yourself, your ideas, your interest(s), a form of digital interface for gathering materials (phones count), and writing implements/surfaces of your choice.

===Critical Thinking for Creative Action 2: Black Box Audio Artifacts===
With Daniel Hipolito

Tuesdays, 10/27 thru 11/17 from 7pm to 9pm

Intended as a follow up to CTCA 1, but with no prior study necessary or required. Cited among others will be numerous forms of contemporary popular arts, the work and methods of outsider artists, the Situationist International, Emmanuel Kant, Rene Descartes, Fluxus, Brion Gysin, Kathy Acker, Tony Labat, John Cage, Genesis P Orridge, Anais Nin, George Kuchar, William Vollmann, Socrates, Erik Satie, and Terrence McKenna.

Each class will consist of an hour's worth of uninterrupted playback of the audio ephemera the class and instructor have collected for the week's session (promotional cassettes/ gifted records/ accidental recordings/ youtube wormhole found audio/ thrift store or garage sale finds/ etc), followed by a short break, leading into a second hour of group discussion about the works brought into the class for assessment. This second section will be necessarily flexible, the structure of which will be greatly determined by the students themselves.
