Advanced Moving Image: Video, Film, Art ＆ Movement

Catalog description

Advanced Moving Image: Video, Film, Art ＆ Movement is an advanced moving image class which centers on the use of both established and emergent digital technologies as a medium for exploration and artistic expression. The focus will be on artworks that reference the body/bodies in movement, the creation of Avatars and the designing of environments and spatial narratives. Existing works from this emergent area will be shown to give cultural and historical context, seen through a personal and political lens. The course will be intensive and hands-on, the apprehension of technical and aesthetic skills will be utilized to create works based on the individual or collective expression of the artist/s. Students are encouraged to explore areas of personal interest and to incorporate this research into their production work. Taking an active role in class discussions and production teamwork is required. The course is offered to both graduate and undergraduate students. It is expected that at the end of the course students will have gained an active knowledge of core concepts and techniques useful in working with performance capture within an art context
