Description: This course combines video production with a critical examination of experimental video and time-based media as an art form, cultural tool, and social practice. Through studio practice, screenings, readings, and critiques of student work, students examine the diverse languages and practices of video and time-based media within a contemporary context. Students experiment with monitors, projectors, and other media while addressing concerns of site and scale, issues of narrative, identity, reception, audience, and private/public space. Students learn the technical and conceptual aspects of production and develop individual aesthetic, analytic, and critical skills. This is an integrated media course.
