Abstract	In this article Christine Woywod contemplates what her students' artworks would look like if she taught in a way where art was transient, not about objects, but rather experiences. As an example, she describes experiencing an exhibit including interactive works by Nathaniel Stern where she got to jump and swat at projected words that floated past her shadow on a wall. These shadows were real-time computer-generated drawings of her moving body, using body-tracking hard- and software. She and her students had control over the artwork, but it also had control over them. In those moments the class "embodied" how technology mediates their lives. But how does one "teach" about such fresh, ephemeral work? Woywod believes that one particular approach in Stern's work, "Compressionism," can offer art educators a valuable bridge between the traditional kinds of art objects they are familiar with teaching about and contemporary concepts such as "performing images into existence." After providing some background information on Nathaniel Stern and "Compressionism," Woywod describes ways students can learn from Stern's artworks through essential questions framed by the National Core Art Standards (NCCAS, 2014).
