This course will challenge how video pieces are considered, developed, and viewed. Students will abandon preconceived notions of movie-viewing environments and build visually exciting and engaging pieces that can occupy a number of different contexts: projections for live performance, animations that function as moving paintings or sculptures, and more. We will examine the practices of contemporary moving-image artists that create innovative bodies of multimedia work for galleries, concerts, and/or for online audiences. Topics will address how media has been incorporated into the Internet age, and consider how artists deal with society’s shortened attention span. Through a rigorous schedule of lectures, workshops, and projects, we will take video out of its comfort zone. Film and Media Studies Majors/Minors only. Recommended Course Background: MI.061.200 or AS.061.152
