Description: Students in this course combine 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, 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, and 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.
