Expanded Cinema

Catalog description

This project-based course explores moving image installations beyond the traditional movie theater, engaging with alternative venues such as public spaces, museums, and gallery environments. Students will study key works and theories from the history of moving image art, from early cinematic devices to the Expanded Cinema movement of the 1970s, and up to contemporary new media practices that will culminate in a research paper. Throughout the course, students will also design and produce their own moving image installation projects culminating in a final exhibition.
