On average the class has 25 students.We start the class with a discussion of the short article What Art Unveils by Alva Noë whichusually allows us to find aspects we agree on so that we have a common understanding of art inthe course. ‘Artists make stuff’ – we were able to agree on that. Noë’s hypothesis is “that artistsmake stuff not because the stuff they make is special in itself, but because making stuff is specialfor us. Making activities — technology, for short — constitute us as a species. Artists make stuffbecause in doing so they reveal something deep and important about our nature, indeed, … aboutour biological nature [4].” He continues the article that ‘art makes things strange’: take a groupof engineering
