<li>You will investigate a <strong>topic</strong> that ideally intersects this year&#39;s topic/theme with something of value to your own research goals. Good research always begins by seeking out key papers and other relevant research resources. <ul>
<li>Some investigative tips:<ul>
<li>Use Wikipedia to identify <strong>keywords or terms</strong>, questions and issues, foundational publications and controversies, etc. This can also help to make your search more narrow/specific. Look for the edges of a body of research. Wikipedia is an excellet network of conceptual nodes (but also a potential rabbithole). But remember that it is an encyclopedia, and should be used mainly as a guide map.</li>
<li>Use these terms and publications in <a href="https://scholar.google.com/">Google Scholar</a> and other academic search engines to find for papers that address the questions and issues. Follow <code>cited by</code> and <code>related articles</code> trails to find new leads. Aim to find the most significant (qualitatively &amp; quantitatively) papers. You should be aiming for a collection of 25-50 potentially interesting papers on the topic at this point. </li>

<p>I said in class we should look at others’ Masters &amp; PhD theses/dissertations for inspiration. Here’s the Masters thesis of Golan Levin, from when he was a student at MIT. He is now a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and a key figure in the Art &amp; Code community. There’s a lot to draw from this thesis, both theoretically and practically. Have a good read and bring some thoughts and questions for next week:
